Looks great Keith. I love the dual external overflows. Did you only have 2 reflectors on your last setup? This is a 6' 210, correct? IIRC, you had a 6' 180 before? I'm curious to see if you'll get enough spread even though you are using Lumenarcs. I had 4 Lumenarcs with 400 watters over my 7' 210 at one point. I removed one and brought it down to 3 and didn't really notice any difference in light spread.

Sweet tank, custom starfire tanks seem to be the rage lately

 

[Aquadiva]

That's going to be one gorgeous tank.
Very thoughtful of you guys to gives the cats the best viewing seats.

I mentioned to Iffer that I wasn't keeping track. I know it's expensive, and what the heck, we can't take it with us! It was either kids or reef... you can see which direction we went!

We had a fixture w/3 400's in it. We are trying 2 full size Lumenarcs w/400's. We'll see. Not too tough to expand if we need to. We had a 6', 180. This a 6', 270. I still have to do the actinics, but I need the equipment we have set-up down cellar to do those. Back to work!!

wow that tank looks awesome!

did you end up getting the vortechs?

cant wait for more pics!

 

[IffersTankSlave]

Yes.... we got two to start with. Between those and the circ. pump (Running @ 2700 GPH, 12 ft. of head) we should be ok for flow. If not, we'll add another Vortech.

Lunch/dinner break. God, I forgot how time consuming filling the tank and doing the rock work are. Drill, drill, drill!
