WOW...very, very impressive! What would you call that? - A "Double Bowfront Cube"?

The lighting looks like the new T5 Fauna Marin "UltraSolaris" fixtures sold by Aquarium Obsessed:



If those are 5 foot 80W T5 bulbs, then it looks like that tank is at least 6' x 6'!!!! At 3' tall, that would make it over 800 gallons. Nice!

Bosphorus,
More pix and specs if you got 'em please.

Thanks

That double bowfront tank is unique! I love it. I even love the frag tank at the bottom.

It looks like he's running the t-5's front to back on the one tank with the frag tank. Is there a benifit to that?

I really like this shaggy look. Got some frags recently and it is fun seeing them grow.

Great thread and a lot of tanks providing some really great ideas.

The tank looks wider than it is long, I guess he hung it that way for that reason. I don't think there is any real reason other than that.

Thanks
I dont believe that those are the Fauna-Marin Lights. the Fauna-Marins have a black housing. Those are most likely either the ATI Sunpower fixtures, or, more likely, the Aquaconnect Lumimasters.

^Aquaconnect Lumimaster
http://www.aquapro2000.de/Beleuchtun...895e8da2b8dff7
^ ATI Sunpower

Nearly identical, but there are many companies that use the same setup as the Fauna-Marins.

Here's mine


Unfotunantly, I don't know the Name of the Owner.
After all the tanks that I looked at on this site, this one is my favorite aswell. The colors are beautiful.

No. I was hoping that Schuhmacher (fauna-marin) would tell me since its his name on it... but no dice.
