That's a nice tank. Good job! What are the dimensions of that? Also, that's a sweet manifold up top there.

[Nate]

tank is 48 X 30 wide by 24 tall...manifold is not done yet as it is being converted to all locline in the tank later on today.

I will update pics as I take them

Tank sits 48 inches into the room, so there are three viewing panels used.

more pics to come

Great looking setup, although now I have a sore neck from trying to view them right side up. :p Come on man, rotating isn't that hard.. :lol:

Nate,
That tank is awesome and I think the colour of the Tek light is awesome. I am still trying to accumulate equipment for my forray back into the hobby... your pictures have convinced me that t5ho is the way to go.

Thanks Fish,

Maybe I will try to do a couple more comparison pics today for ya, now that I have been messing around with the bulbs a ton (I bought 17) I think I now have it "tuned" to thecolour I like.

What's the light penetration like? In some pictures there looks like an awful lot of intensity dropoff at the bottom. It could be that the pictures are a bit underexposed though which tends to exaggerate the effect a little.

Nice pics Nate, very cool setup. Can you take full tank shots when doing the comparison?
