19 x 80wattT5s... yeah... looks like Aquaconnect Lumimasters for sure now that I take a second look. But yeah.... 1520 watts of T5 over about 400some gallons... sharp. Dont know why the T5s are raised up so high though. The tank has that nice parimeter that looks like 6-8" thick running all around, and the fixtures are above that. Maybe its just for the pics, but if it were me, those T5s would be down underneath the parimeter.

I love that frag tank too. Im doing something like that with my new 120g. There will be a 40L underneath with full exposure to the front and 4x54wattT5s over it. I couldnt resist.

I am lucky enough to live near him and go in all the time...the pic does the clam no justice!!!!!! it wieghs 160lbs. You should see his other 300 cube that he has, it is an even nicer tank, with some very nice corals.

And the company that owns that tank is C.P.Farm, they grow corals in the tank from what was said in the other thread.

Travis - I lost all my subscriptions a few months back so I don't have the thread anymore.

I just noticed that the majority of those fish are not chromis!!! I have looked at that tank about 50 times too. Most of them are threadfin cardinals. Not that it really matters, just thought I would share.
