That's some serious lighting dude. No need for heaters with that kinda energy. They still in that 125?

EK -- when are you ever going to upgrade your tank to something with a little more depth.. You really should look at the new Marineland 300... 6ft x 3ft deep x 27 tall... your ilangi will love you forever man

Here's a noob question: Are Metal Halides the only lights that require a separate ballast box?

All lights require a ballast but yeah most halides have a remote ballast.

I actually still use the heater and it still turns on occassionally. They are still in the 125g for now.

You seen the tank in the front at T&T? I almost took that home one day but for the money I stopped myself and have been snooping around for a more custom tank to my exact liking.... coming soon

I wanna take that thing home every time I go to T&T but man thats alot of money...

[eklikewhoa]

The depth is really really nice and I can imagine an awesome scape to compliment it but honestly think that 6ft is a waste unless it's a std. tank.

300g Marineland

Yeah that is the one I was thinking of :) but you are very correct.. 1800 for the tank and 1600 for the stand (and gear?) At $3400 I am thinking its way more tank than I could handle... I am in the same boat as you are... except there is only one way for me to get a super tank.. and that is to move into a new place.. I dont have the wall space for one while I am living where I am living at without seriously having to move other peoples need out of the way..

[eklikewhoa]

There was no gear other then tank and stand.

As for me I am gonna buy within a year and hopefully by then I will decide whether it goes into storage till the fiance is done with her residency or set it up in the new house we have bought.

Seeing as though I thought the tank tour was today.... I am bored out my mind now cause I had cleared my schedule for today.

Here are some new pics...













FTS...

For some reason I never get sick of looking at this tank. Beautiful

Thanks guys.

Grazing time!








Had to take these across the room to keep from interrupting them cause when I approach the tank they rush the glass to greet me.
