Extremely pleased so far. Very easy to adjust the height. Great light coverage for the entire tank, and good depth penetration to bottom of tank. My corals are doing well. I have a blue tort near the bottom that already has new branches after six weeks.

It was a tough buy to pull the trigger on but now I consider it one of the best investments I've made in reefkeeping.

they definitely arent cheap. i've been toying with the idea of getting one myself.

Thanks all. My goal with this tank is for it to be a fish tank with a nice collection of coral colonies. I have plans of adding around thirty fish total.

Very nice!!! What is the FP of the tank? I like the stand color:wink:. Same color as mines. I also plan to have around that many fish or more. I thought I was going overboard with my plan LOL. Now I don't feel too bad. What types of fish are you planning to get?

It's 5ft x 3ft x 27in tall.

Currently I have two naked clowns, a goby, a blenny, a powder brown tanks, and a sailfin tang. I have plans to add smaller schooling fish next - a variety of different cardinalfish. Looking into a couple of angels, most likely a bellus and perhaps a japanese swallowtail or a watanabe. Definitely want to add a pyramid butterflyfish. Also on the look out for a wrasse that I really like, but is not too aggressive. After all that, some anthias and a couple more tangs.


I'll think of more in the meantime. It's a slow process of gradually adding the fish.

Nice you gotta love the depth! I know I do! My 270g right now has Powder Blue, Chevron and Achilles Tang. Also a dozen chromis, African Gold Midas Blenny and some type of fairy wrasse. I think I have room for one maybe 2 more large fish. I'm thinking of adding a Purple Tang and maybe a Blueface or Navarchus Angel. I'm a little nervous adding the Angel though with all my nice corals. The rest will be some smaller schooling fish such as cardinals, basslets, anthias and what ever else I find interesting. What type of corals you plan to keep. So it sounds like we have simular plans.
