R2R tank video

Hey, sorry I'm late to the party.
Key to the sand looking white and clean is to clean it, and have animals that help keep it tidy in between cleanings. Also, having T5HO lighting helps I think. When I have used LEDs in the past, the sand doesn't seem to reflect the same way

What would I need for a 65 gal 36x24x18 tank?
 
Wow great inspirational tank! Love the colors and composition of the aquascape. Lots going on but it all comes together well. Newbie question about a coral and fish.

Are the blue arrows pointing to mushrooms. I've seen this before where they seem to stick out of the rocks. Is the trick to place them on a slope?

What fish is the red arrow pointing to?

Thanks!

The fish is a Bangaii Cardinal
 
ATI makes a great fixture, as does TEK (heard they were going out of business or went out of business, @stunreefer may know more). Any 6 bulb t5HO with individual reflectors should work fine.
TEK lights were made by Sunlight Supply which closed their aquatics department November 30th, 2012. They still make fixtures for the horticulture industry, most of which would work for our hobby. With that said you can still find some from retailers (Goolge "TEK lights") that have them collecting dust. It's a shame because they were a great light at an affordable price point.

There are some other options around, certainly including ATI. ATI Sunpower's have come down in price and are probably be your best bet for fitting the TEK niche, albeit a bit more expensive. They were always a step above TEK's IMO, you cannot go wrong with one :)
