That's gorgeous and the exact same dimensions! I'm going to have to have a canopy on mine because it's going to be in a waiting room. I've been considering 3 Radion XR15 on the Eco Tech Multilight RMS track. Did you do the aquascape?

Thanks, I did do the aquascape myself. Took me a couple weekends. I actually designed, engineered and built the stand/cabinet too.

You could easily hang the Photon V32 in a canopy using the optional rail mounts. If you decide to go that route, I have a set of the rail mounts you can have.

Thanks! I'll look into them!

Hi all. I'm coming back into the hobby after almost 20 years. It looks like it has changed A TON. I'm having a tank built by Glasscages for my office and am looking forward to picking it up soon. I plan on having mostly livestock with maybe some corals. I'm planning on doing a NSA aquascape with Marco rock and a 3" sand bed. I'm going with the Synergy Reef V2 Shadow Overflow and I'll be going with their TS-60 Triton Method Sump and an ATO. I'm planning on the Apex for peace of mind since it will be in the office waiting room and I won't be with it all of the time and I like the idea of notifications. Because it's in a public area the stand will have a canopy. I know what I want for most everything. What I could really use is some advice on the lighting. I know that I want LEDs, but there are so many options out there that I'm almost paralyzed by the variety. The tank is 72"L x 24"W x 31"H. I'm interested in thoughts about the lighting. Thanks!

Hello! I like your bitmoji

No, I didn't actually move to NC until 2009. I was part of Yahoo! Michigan reefers group but I haven't had a tank since 2004.

My wife was in Flint and my good buddy in the Detroit area. I went to MSU, they both went to UM. Planning a football watching event when the 2 teams meet at the end of the month!

I grew up in Owosso which is about 15 minutes from Flint. I was a police officer in Lansing, Lansing Township actually. My wife and sister were college roommates at U of M.

Maybe you gave me a speeding ticket in Lansing way back when! My wife says her Dad use to race modified stock cars in your neck of the woods.

The Owosso Motor Speedway probably :) The Speedway was actually used to house **** POWs during WWII.
