Maybe its time for an update as some have been asking me at the warehouse and texting no sure why nothing online,...here it goes

Just ordered the lights and decided to go with what I have been testing for the past couple years and really love the look and the coral growth.
Getting 10 of 100w led to start and could add more if needed going on a sliding rail over the tank.
6 X 100W 445nm royal blue
4 X 100W 40/60 hybrid
I will post photos and a build as soon as they arrive.

Now only placing 2 X WP60 as the waves are crazy thinking of adding couple more.

Went to the warehouse and picked few pieces of Pukani, Tonga Shelf and Tonga Branch I say roughly 800lbs.Sorry no individual photos byt will have a video up tonight as the rock is cycling in a new saltwater mix with about 100 lbs of already cycled rock in my old system.

I used maybe 2 lbs of FijiCrete for some of the rock work to make it that much sturdy.

Still waiting on 3 sumps for curing then install...

i like how the rock on the left hides your wp60. some neat little spots with depth in there.

Thanks Brett
Both power heads are hidden by rocks and with easy access from both sides of the tank.
There will be no equipment showing at all in my display system.

AS for the depth I love it as it gives the 3D look with the rock work being as some are taller in the front and will be filled with corals throughout and some spots need to angle look at it..

The fish list is gonna be big.
Thinking 5 yellow tangs or a school of pyramid butterfly.
One regal that I had for 5 hears
Tons of colourful anthias
Sailffin had for 3 years
Peppermind hog fish had for 2 years
Sohal tang had for 1 year
3 other tangs I had for 2 years cannot remember name now
This tank is gonna be loaded with colors from fish to coral...that's the plan anyways.
