Here is a picture of it finished and half full of corals. You have got to remember that iit is 5' wide so you have got corals on both sides, so it takes quite a bit of coral to fill it..

Yep it is full now, will post a picture as soon as I get back to work (My 2 days off at the moment)

We have also put in a partition into it so we can put all the inverts in e.g. Anenome's, shrimps, sea stars etc

JMT1SOMR We have put the different light over it so we can show ppl what they can keep under each light conditions. We would like to put them all under 400watt Mh but not all of our customers has these light or can afford the power bills

r00na Tank water condition are as follows
Ph 8.3
Sg .024
Ca 430 ppm
Nitrates, Ammonia, nitrites are undetectable
Gh about 12-14 need another test kit

It would be so awesome to take a tank like that and light each corner of it with differnt lights (all within the same K* rating) and see what becomes of the corals in that area.

Beautiful tank!
