As I promised Matt earlier today, here's our video. We had a lot of fun making it for you. My wife did the hard part of editing the video.
We couldn't have gotten the tank this far without the helpful tips and inspiration from you all. We hope you like enough to vote for us.
Tank looks awesome! You mentioned that you don't keep hard corals with your lighting, is that lighting system not strong enough? I plan on getting a similar setup and was wondering if it will support hard corals, thanks

I read that Power Compact fluorescent was only sufficient for soft corals like leathers, and some others that don't require intense lighting. I think you'd be better off with a strong T-5HO / overdriven (icecap ballast) setup or MH if you want to keep hard coral and other coral requiring high intensity lighting. Go with MH for keeping clams. I went with PC, because I don't want want to spend the big bucks on MH until I get the bigger tank. I didn't want to get the wrong size MH setup first for the 55 gal and have to upgrade that later.
Thanks.
Great video Dan(bogie) and your wife did a awesome job on the editting, you think she can help me on mine? Let me see if the ball and chain wants to help me out. Once again, great job. Luna
