Dowtish and fireman- I might set up a small photo shoot tonight.

Here's a couple of pictures I took tonight:

Since my last update I have revamped my lighting and changes all my bulbs and added three LED strips my current lighting is this:

- 2x 250 watt XM 15K MH
- ATI Purple Plus
- Geismann Blue Plus
- 3x 4 per 1 watt Blue LED's

I like the color of the tank a lot better with the bulbs changes, it's not as blue as the pictures show.

Everything seems happy and has good growth.

Lookin' gooooood. Glad you got more blue in there as I know it was too white for your liking.

Looking good!

Thanks Ryans!

The color is nice and crisp, a lot of people said that they don't like the XM's, I guess they're lower PAR than a lot of other MH bulbs. But I like it, figured the lower PAR intensity would be better for the LPS and softies lower in the tank.

I don't know how you can stand a tank that deep though. My 36 bowfront was to deep for me.

There are certainly time in which I hate it, but I love the look of taller tanks. When I set it up I really wanted to do a Tek 8 bulb T5 fixture but the height kept me away from T5's as a main light source. How tall was your bowfront?

no, but I am 6' 1" and I hate deep tanks with a passion. They look good but I prefer shallow. Don't want to get my pits wet every time I clean tank.

A 21" deep tank, isn't deep. Standard 120's are 24" deep... LOL I guess I just enjoy the wet pits.

Imagine how Cheng felt when he owned this tank. Poor guy.

Mike, I'm only like 6'3".

I try to keep all my tanks 16" or less.

Never thought of it that way. the largest fish I have ever owned though is a dwarf gourami in my 40 breeder lol. Unfortunately, I don't have enough room for a big tank.....yet.

I love the deep tank as well. I will never go back to a tank less than 24 deep. Mine is 30 deep. You can really have nice aquascaping with deep tanks. I use to not like deep tanks till i owned

Dowtish · Feb 1, 2013

I neglect things at the bottom of my tank and it's 27" tall. I have a feeling that my acans would be twice as large if wasnt such a pain to feed them.
