John your tank is looking stunning. I look at it as one of the things to give me motivation to try and forge forward with mine. I have the same idea as to having a slight mix of LPS with SPS, it just seems to make it more interesting.

thanks Mike,

it is more intresting, you can get different colors and differnt shapes with the LPS, and with the torches and hammers more movement.

I would love to have a tank just with hammers and torches and a wavebox that would be cool.

Throw a question at ya, if you were to do your lighting from scratch would you still go the T5 only route ? I've always been a MH guy but with trying to cut down on power consumption and seeing the success of your tank and several others it looks like either way gets great results.
