Ok it has been a while ago that I started my build thread.
So I wanted to just drop in some pics of the tank up and running.
I am still waiting on a few parts and I have to fine tune this beast.

Got a new gift for the tank last night
My third mp40wes and the 3 of them work the tank just right.

The hardest thing I faced in this new build was lighting.
I am a true MH fan due to look and growth.
But as with most out there I had a truly horrible day when my chiller went out and boiled my tank
It was a total lose in my 150 in one day.
So I decided not ro go MH.
Then came Led but with alot of reading and other people tryin them out
They love the look but I have read alot where people can't get it down just right and have alot of bleaching of there coral
So for now Led's are out.
So I decided to go with T5's
On the new tank I am running 2 Sun Tek t5 fixtures 8 bulb and 6 bulb with a total of 14 T5 bulbs awesome reflectors on these units
5 Aquablue +
3 Pure Actinic
4 Actinic +
2 Aqua Pink
