Very cool pics. I think that will help some of the people new to the hobby.

Helps me. I like the looks of the coralife 20k. BTW tank looks sharp.

Definitely love the third pic. What a difference. Great tank!

there is another guy on that thread who is in charge of the atlantis aquarium exhibit at sea world (20,000 gallon tank) who says he uses the ventures, and that after a little burn in, they look a lot less green/yellow. when he posts his pics with just the ventures on, ill bring that over here too.
