Thinking of adding 2 XR15 blues instead of 1 more XR30, or should I go with a UV sterilizer instead and upgrade the lights later!? Decisions decisions!
 
Lights mounted where I want them and I through those ocean revives on until I make a decision if I want to add another XR30 or 2 XR 15 blues!

I ended up with the final config for lighting on my tank and overall happy, went through too many light changes. 5 G5 XR30’s perpendicular with diffusers is awesome coverage on 8 feet.Coral have responded great. Your tank is looking amazing! I always come back to your build thread since we started around the same week.

I will eventually get 2 G5 Blues and then go perpendicular like yours. I really want to blast this tank with light! Also just picked up another MP40 and will install later today!
 
Amazing tank! Gonna start treinforcing my floors now in preparation for something like this:)
Thank you! I ran into complications with my tile floors being super unleveled with the tank being 8’ long. So definitely make sure the floor is level and strong!!
 
This tank is coming a long great. I'm really looking forward to seeing it come together. I love what you are doing.
Thank you! So far so good can’t complain! Once a see a spec of coralline trident will be purchased and so will a bunch of coral!!
 
I’ve got 4 mp40 in my 6fter. I would think 4-6 would not be out of the question on an 8’ ft tank.

nice build.

Yea right now I have 2 MP40s, 2 Neros, 2 Jebao 20s. So I can move a ton of water right now!!
 
I’d love to see that tank in person ! I’m sure pics don’t do it justice ... plus I’m kind of a mechanical nerd too and really dig checking out how people plumb their set ups. Keep them pics coming ... looks awesome !

Thanks man!! I did have to redo some plumbing but it was just the returns at 45s inside of 90s. Didn’t like the hard bend to push the water.
