How come you're only running T5's?

My old frag tank had two metal halides over it, because this tank is in a garage with no windows the heat built up to lethal levels. With the T5's I should be able to keep this problem under control. the tank is shallow enough to get lots of light to all of the coral.

Looking good there Ian.
Let me know when you need new stock.

Nice looking tank. The OM should generate some nice random water movement.

I would consider using some hot water or a torch to heat the fibre re-enforced plastic tubing on your drain - that tubing, while clamped, looks too close to the end of that barb fitting for my liking (specially in the absence of a 90 degree elbow). Better still, consider using all PVC until you direct the flow downwards.

Good pointers, I think I will take your advice! I don't want any leaks. The tank is now up an running, I will make the adjustments tomorrow.

Thanks!!
