Yup, I just installed that tank yesterday. What are you planning for corals? Mixed? Softies, LPS? I heard your set up looks incredible in person. Mike from Yellowknife saw it. Looking forward to seeing your tank grow out long term.

With your lighting I think that you can do sps in certain places in your tank. Quite a few people are running gorgeous sps tanks with just T5s. You can always come grab some cheap sps frags from me and test them out.
