The Oceanic 37g RR is 24x18x21. I have a single 250W Ushio 14K DE bulb on mine. I am trying to post a pic but can't figure out how to do it.

Stonecold,
Do you have any pics other than what is in your gallery? I have that exact same tank and had though of doing a one halide set up but didn't think it would work. Yours looks great so maybe I will try it that way. I would like to see some pics of the tank from a little farther away and some of the canopy with the doors open. If you would prefer to email them I will PM you my email address. TIA, Scott |

single halide in a reef ready canopy
for the most part my 37 gallon tank is setup ..still debating if i want to replace my skimmer with the new deltec mce300. But this is my halide setup in a custom reef ready canopy.
the halide is by hamilton it is a reefstar 250 watt HQI 14k http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showp...t=1&thecat=500 http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showp...t=1&thecat=500 http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showp...t=1&thecat=500 |

Stoney Mahoney That is a beautiful setup!
This was my old softies setup.. (1) 14K Hamilton 175w over a 3-footer acrylic tank The problem is that the halide was installed right on top of a center brace.. over time it made it bow upwards due to the heat, so I upgraded to a BIGGER tank

seems like more people keep tanks outside the recommended minimum lighting requirement then I thought.

FYI my light is a bit too much for my platygra brain, and ricordia mushrooms so placement is very important if you overdo your lighting and you must carefully consider what types of corals you wish to keep. With higher wattage heat can be an issue too. I have a hard time keeping mine below 82-83 with the way its set up now.

pasenah, now that's what I'm talkin' about! We need to get on the trimless tank train here in the U.S. It is the norm in Europe, I don't know why it hasn't caught on here.
Your lighting scheme is ideal IMO, I like to have areas with less light to allow for more variety. Every inch of tank doesn't need to be blasted with light, although it looks like you get good coverage with your light.

i dont think its too popular to have no trim over here and the wife keeps bugging me to cover it but im with you and like it as it is. i like to have it a bit darker at the edges for the lps but as you say , its pretty well covered. cheers ben |

That aquarium is very beautiful. I like the effect it gives off with the open space..
