This tank was setup so I had something to look at whilest in my upstairs area, (My SPS tank is downstairs, in basement), and the main goal of this tank was to have all the soft wavey attractive corals, including the obligatory, "nemo's" to entertain visitors and children alike.

I have had tanks in the main area of the house before, but they have always made the house humid, and the tanks have always been noisy.
The requirements this tank HAD to meet (to satify the better half), were that the tank had to be silent, and not heat the house up.

With the LED's the heat is minimised, and the bk160mini is the first skimmer I have owned that is silent!

Hi All! Thank you all for the kind words! I will attempt to get some new shots in the near future. For all those wondering about the LED floodlights, they are still going strong, haven't missed a beat, and still throwing out the same PAR as the day I got them! These LED flood lights are readily available off ebay in a wide variety of color temps and wattages! I don't even use fans on them in winter here (10-15 degrees Celsius is Australian winter)! I only run canopy fans in summer as we have very hot summer!
