Cool, thanks Hillbilly

Canopy and stand are completed!!
Hopefully I'll be ready to fill this bad boy sometime next month. I still have to add the HQI, build a moon light and top off system.
Eerything is progressing nicely.

56K killer!

Cool lizard lightswitch cover..

Looks really nice. I normally hate canopies on smaller tanks, but yours looks good.

Im still working on temp issues and had to remove one powerhead to reduce the flow but this new set up is awesome.

I can't get my camera to take a "true picture" of the tank it distorts the color because of the HQI.

The rest of the set up pictures are here:

From what I understand you plan on putting shrooms with SPS? Just keep an eye on the shrooms. It's possible to keep both in the same tank, but shrooms have a tendency to detach, float around and sting the bejeesus out of your most expensive Acropora sp.

I've had a mixed tank for over a year without any problem. I'll keep a close eye on everything, Thanks for the tip.

I moved the Iceprobe to a Fluval 104 behind the stand. Unfortunately it doesn't have enough flow so (1) Maxi-Jet is still running the tank, temps stay between 80-82.

The Fluval is plumbed to the overflow area so with the quick release ball valve disconnect makes an excellent water change drain.

With the 5G top-off system I only have to change it about every three weeks.

I think that some acro's in nature get more light than even a 400watt would provide. However it wont be a constant intensity in nature...
