Looking good . Quick question, what wattage is the halide? I presume it was from marine lighting?, and is it a 10,000K bulb? I'm using the same ones over my new reef.

Its a Marine Lighting Halide (although it was got cheaper via Coral Garden ).

400w 10k bulb.

At the moment this is the only lighting there is. My plans were to add actinics but i simply havent got around to working on the hood properly yet.

Im also considering a 14K bulb as i like the extra colour that can be produced from them.

Wow, what a gorgeous tank!

I love the 6-line wrasse, one of my favorites!

yeah, nice pics.
you built the stand yourself?

 

[Navarre]

Um yeah.. does it show )

 

[hyrookin]

it looks good from what I can see. I'm thinking of building one myself for
my 55 gallon. right now it's on a wrought iron stand, been on it for about
4 years, and I don't like the looks of it.

did you go by any special guidelines specific for a tank, or did you just
make sure it would support and stay level?

(sorry for turning this into a hardware post)
