Any chance of a Unicorn Tang, or would that not work out?

Not bad, but you screwed up and built in the wrong place. Inbox me for correct address to move that to.

Looks nice. Let us see rough math at hobbyist cost puts that upgrade at a tick over 10k not including taxes. However I'd wager you received a discount or sponsor / donation
In any case it is a nice clean setup. Keep up the great work. Oh, also hats off to making that special request video for the lad a few posts back. Pretty nice of you.
Hope you all have an amazing day.

Awesome! I have a few questions if you don't mind. Can inbox if you prefer.Here are a couple photos from today:
What type of lights? wattage each? Spacing and height over tank?
Could the water level be raised 12'' on this type build or would thicker be required?
Approximate cost of materials for tank,stand, sump, plumping? not including anything in tank, pumps, lights etc
I could see one in my future, few finch and orchids in the mangroves, higher hill of rock.

Hi, there are 13 Radion XR30 Pro G5 lights. They are about 5 feet above the water and we evenly spaced them according to the dimensions of the canopy. It is setup for a mixed reef to get an even lighting spread. The power consumption is 215 watts per fixture according to EcoTech, but keep in mind they are not run at 100% output.
You would most likely need thicker glass and/or bracing to raise the water level that high. Send us a message with your email and we can contact you with pricing.

I’m glad you asked that. We are working on a video showing the par numbers for the G4’s and G5’s over this tank. Stay tuned...

Looks like an indoor ocean oasis! Y'all could swim in that tankOnce the tank was assembled and given time for the silicone to cure, it was time to add the sand and water. In general, our previous display tanks have mostly been high flow and BB so this lagoon is unlike anything we have had before.
