Sorry, its not my operation. I was just lucky enough to be able to see it and photograph it, so thats all i got. I believe the owner is on RC, so maybe he'll pipe up with some info when he is done plumbing the 22 hammerheads into 160 bulkheads, ha ha.

longhornreefer, do you know what metal halide lamps are they going to use?

Tanks for sharing, amazing and clean setup, really cool!

Currently he has 3 tanks set up cycling with live rock. The tanks he has going are 12'x3'2' and about 18" of each tank is an overflow bow. He has 3 lights w/ luminarc LIIIs over each tank currently.

Is this going to be strictly wholesale? Or open to the public? I am only 5 hours away, and I am thinking it will be worth the drive! Maybe even a club field trip!!!

So did the owner of this system get a commercial posting warranting or something? I’m not saying they are commercial just wondering why there haven’t been any updates for so long. I’d love to get updates on the progress of this system.
