Too risky.

That is a very tall tank and they brace it because the glass is thin.

I would simply get T5's. They spread the light much better so you would barely see the brace at all.

Well plentys happened since the last post,

Dont have to worry about the center brace anymore, got a new light fixture

6x39W ATI Powermodule

Also picked up about 20lbs more of live rock and redid the rock work, got the fuge going and the phosban reactor inplace as well (still need to add the GFO to it though, wanted to see if it would fit alright)

Stuck with a Coralife Super simmer 125 for now, saving up for something alot better down the road but for now It's doing the job been getting some nice dark skimate

(Returns got painted black, and theres no more heater in the main tank lol, didnt feel like taking new pics agian for that)

Comments, suggestions?

I really like your aquascaping. It's going to be a very interesting tank.
