Very nice setup Tony.

No chiller on that boy! I keep the house at 76° all the time and the tank hovers between 77° to 78°.

Since I raised the light fixture about 5 inches the light spreads a little more than 3 feet from front to back.

Yes, that is an ORA Red Goni, that I got several years ago the size of a golf ball.

Tony that light is amazing. Does the geisemann fixture serve any kind of mechanical benefit for all of the lights or are you basically just using it as the housing for all of the light components?
OP
OP
The Geisemann's aluminum housing works extremely well as a heat sink as well as dissipation. That fixture was selected because of its very thick aluminum housing, a fully functional fixture.

There will be several articles about this build after MACNA and one will be on the lighting of this system.

Nice Upgrade
Brad your tank is absolutely breathtaking. I want to upgrade from my 125 to a 300 when I get the money. My tank has been running for about 10 years but I never stop learning and admiring the creativity of others. The great thing about reef tanks is no two are alike

Don't just keep fish care for them

Not sure if I missed it, but what T5 bulbs did you use to supplement the cannons?
I picked up some 50w Ecoxotic cannons before the 100's were out and found the par to be too low for my goals, but it looks like the 100 watters are way more than twice the par. This makes want to dig the cannons out and experiment with some T5 supplements.
The colors are amazing in the pictures you posted!

Great build thread Tony, lots of cool info so far. You have me thinking about an upgrade even more now. That custom lighting fixture is one sexy beast! Looking forward to MACNA and checking out this system up close.
