They are MH I think? Japanese tanks have some stange yet awsome lighting. They take one light and point it at a certain coral to make it look a certain color.

It's not too hard to keep sand clean, just put alot of sand sifting critters in the tank.

The one at the top of this page has overflows, but the site (milkyamada or something like that) is no longer up. Shame, his tank is crazy. One of the neatest setups I've ever seen.

We have access to all their lighting, we're just too cheap. Those bulbs are iwaskai 150 & 70 hqi bulbs. They come in blue, pink, and daylight.... Premium Aquatics even sells them.

They have better equipment...skimmers, lighting, reactors etc. We have access too all of it but we settle for less expensive and thus lesser quality.

....they also know how to aquascape.

Hi all,
This is my idol tank, when I first saw this image many moons ago in Reef Aquarium vol 1 it totally blew me away, and started my passion for SPS corals.

that is very irresponsible. I can't believe that you said that.
