Not the best photos (iPhone) but here's an update. The light rack is up on the 1st coral tank (the Rose anem's are still natural sunlight only) - the rack holds 12 x 48" T5s and is on a light mover. The lighting rack also holds 4 Tunze 6305s for a nice rolling flow.

I like everything about this build except the part about only selling to LFS. Awesome.

Awesome.... Seeing that it's a solarium, why not use solar power to run all of the electrical, and eliminate the electrical bill all together (well, divert it to pay for the solar)?

That was something I was thinking about also, maybe something you can explore down the road...

I admire your ability and desire to do this...well done.

Here's another update cut from WAMAS:

Here are some update pics of what's been happening in the greenhouse.
Got a light mover installed to run some supplemental lights to help the sps keep going now that winter is nearing. I decided to try 12x54w T5 aquascience 22k. They are very blue and make the place visible from the road. I have reports that it looks very pretty. The only thing I don't like about this is the T5s take up too much space. I am going to put 2x400w radiums on another tank and compare the results. When I get all the supplemental lights going, maybe it will be visible from a passenger jet?

I'm also using the light mover to act as a surge device. I made a bracket that holds 4 (room for 6) tunze streams; as the mover travels the length of the tank, the corals get a short blast of current which simulates a wave pretty well. It helps keep the bottom clear of detritus and algae too. Very happy with how this is working so far.

Here are some pics of what's growing in this tub:
Just made these today. Planning to make about 50 more if these do well out here. The original superman digi, I have had it since 05. Slower growing than other digis. Should be available at area LFS within a few months.
