The straight line is the wood trim around the display - does look awesome though.
Cool how you can actually see the light rays from the 3 mh's. If I remember right, you have more than the mh's, correct? I thought you also had pc or something.

You have some awesome LR in there. You're going all out for a first reef tank. If you're dedicated enough to design that setup I'm guessing you'll be a dedicated reef keeper.
I bought a 265, sold it because it was too big. WAY TOO BIG. I have a 75 now and still with I was running a smaller tank.

thanks, the wood trim will be replaced with custom granite pc and tank sits 5" below the ledge to create that effects so when cleaning has to be done the magnavore will not be near the sand. all the light array is noticeable which i like. there'e total 6 MH 3 front and 3 rear, as of now 3 rear is on. chiller & QT will be done this week.

The granite will be a nice touch for certain.
Man - those 6 MH's will look awesome!
Can't wait!
