    Absolutely gorgeous man, looks like you took a piece of the reef right out of the ocean. Great job on the rock work!

    I would check out the Grim Reefer on reef central. He is the guru of T5 lighting. Absolutely right on target. I have a 210g and I use an 8x54 and an 8 x24 butted next to each other. If you want pictures I'll show you. Send me a private message if your interested. Here is one of the Grim Reefer's threads. Endless pages of information. PM him and he will personally help you out. Good luck!:cheesy:

    As far as your tank goes it's beautiful. You did a similar rockscape to mine. I have around 180 lbs of rock in my tank which is a little less than 1 lb per gal but I can add more if I want to which is highly unlikely. I'm curious as to the dimensions on your tank?

    60x36x27, think theres about 190lbs of rock in there...i know there are the 1-1.5lb per gallon recommendations but people can get carried away. I put in what i think looks good and leave room for corals cause u never know what a coral u gotta have mite be attached to.

    Just like I thought. The plumbing is amazing. I'll be subscribing to this one for sure.
