    I think I'll need all the help I can get... so I'll take you up on it. And I will have a lot of coral "frags" that will need to go somewhere

    Seems like you have had a lot of success with the AI SOL's in your current tank - if it aint broke...dont fix it :)

    Given your luck with AI products, I am sure you would enjoy either the Vega or the Hydra just depending on how much controlability you want, and if you want the ability to build your own spectrum buying pucks.

    Another option if you have not yet seen it is pacific sun systems. They have several different fixtures and a few that may be large enough for your tank size. Not cheap, but relative to the amount you would need to spend on Hydras or Vegas it may be a viable option.

    My first thread-worthy pic!

    This is Tighe sitting on the new concrete retaining wall and platform that will hold the sump and associated equipment. There is a drain in the middle of the platform and two on the floor in front.

    This entire wall and the floor is all new concrete - it was dirt before.
