    I just ordered this tank. I didnt want too big of a tank. This seemed like the perfect size to me, and im really happy with it..

    Its a deep Sea aquatics 105 pro (new line). 48 x 24 x 21 tall

    Ill post a picture but the picture isnt very good.. It makes the glass look green, but its really not.

    Also, Dont mind the door not being on the stand, its not done yet lol

    Also, don't mind the stand. Im not completely finished. Still have a door to mount and a little more staining before this is ready to go. Hopefully its up next week!

    As for equipment- I

    Skimmer: SRO 2000INT or a sea side aquatics cs2. Havent decided yet
    Lights: ATI sunpower 6 x 54 watt
    Return pump: I have a mag 9, but im thinking about going with something different.
    Flow: I have a mp40w es for now, and I would like to get either another mp40, or atleast an mp10.

    AS for sand, I dont want alot of sandin the tank, so I am going to start with 80 pounds, should get around 1 inch of sand.. If I dont like the look I'll add more. I bought Caribsea special grade reef sand.

    There are sooooooo many LED threads on this forum alone, you should have no problem getting some idea what direction you want to go.

    I like the design of the tank, and that it's 21 tall, almost gives it a shallow look.

    MP10 won't work on your glass...too thick. 2 40's would be perfect for a tank that size!

    Yeah, The tank does give a shallow look. I really like it, and the fact I can reach the bottom of the tank without standing on something lol.

    I will check out the LED threads and see what I find.
