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..

Holy Batman. That thing is huge. How did you balance the water with the air input or were you just playing with it for hours.

Thanks..the pump is big enough I guess to keep it at bay no issues with floating.

Well I just received my LEDs and drivers not expected that early at all thinking couple more week...well I might start the array build this week end ...I took few photos of the LEDs, drivers, and heat sinks with the fans.I will have better shots in the next couple days.
And tomorrow my dry rock would have been 10 days running in the tank...water testing time tomorrow and will post the results.

You should be able to see the lenses yes they are still in the wrappers.
LEDs 6 X 445nm and 4 X hybrids
10 dimmable drivers
10 copper as I know better than aluminum I tested in the past.

Last night I was suppose to get some water tested but that didn't go so well especially when all the LEDs sitting there in front of me staring at me...
well didn't take long to decide to put one emitter together and test it...love it and for having all 10 over my tank, I think it's going to be plenty...yes I know photos ...they are coming...I will take specific photos of the LED building today as I plan on building 6 arrays.
plus I need to get water tested today ...will keep you posted..
by the way I moved my clown fish into the tank a couple days ago and he is loving but seems lost between all that rock in the tank.I think I will move couple more fish tonight.
