    Thanks Steve
    I pulled it apart and redid it 4 times before I was satisfied, has plenty of room front and back as well as lots of pass thru holes for the fish.
    Most of the rock and all the sand came from MarcoRocks


    here is the pics showing my 400w pendant over the tank

    I guess it's just the pictures, but it appears that the tank isn't getting a whole lot of light from that pendant. ???

    sadly it's the picture, final placement will be a few inches lower than it is presently but it is definately bright. Sadly while i do take decent pics, I rarely manage great pics :)

    I'd say "happily, it's the picture!" I'm sure glad what I see in that pic, isn't what you see in real life. With digital cameras, I find it's often nearly impossible to get true rendering of light quality. You know how halides are almost too bright to look at? That phenomenon never seems to translate into a pic.

    Nice build, Telgar. :)
