Dang man, I'll be right over! Do you know how to make a Hurricane? If not I'll just settle for a Long Island Iced Tea!:tongue:

Thanks for the compliments. Now I need to put some corals in the 150 to test out the LED's.

Great tank wishing for similar results when finished with the construction of my 4X3X30" setup is complete. Gives me great inspiration after a hiatus of 11 years to the hobby.

Some photos of the recent addition, a 60x36x12 frag tank. It is connected to the main system.

- 250w MH
- x3 mp40's
- VT Battery back up.

I don't have a lot of flow going to this tank since I just tee'd off one of my return pumps, hence the reason for all the VT.

So what is your opinion on T5's vs LED so far?

Wow man, I wish I could have your smallest tank, they are all awesome. Great build

Setup is awesome man. Gotta love the ultimate man cave approach! Great build. I have the exact same 225. Love the dimensions.

Sweet build!

So what is your opinion on T5's vs LED so far?

I HATE my LED's. I have the Pac Suns with white/blue LED's and I can't stand the colour. I don't think I will ever use LED's over T5 unless there are some significant improvements. I have yet to try the newer LED's with a more diverse colour spectrum so I can't comment on them.

Right now they are good for electricity usage...that's about it.
