Well, I finally got around to taking a somewhat decent picture of my tank. It's new and there isn't much in it (adding a nice LPS such as a hammer tonight), but its mine :) .
Any comments on how to improve it would be great, there are 2 X 96W PCs over it.

Well this is what I have done with mine... I have the same light set up. I've just slowly added some soft corals. My most recent is the zoos in the upper left.

I can't tell by the picture, but does the fixture have open bulbs? If there is a piece of glass in between the bulbs and the water in the fixture, than you don't need the glass under it. I have my PC's retrofitted into my canopy probably about 6" or so off of the water with nothign in between them. Might help get more light intensity into the tank.

No, it doesn't have open bulbs but I have a jawfish and he will jump out if he gets scared so I have the glass there to stop him. But thx for the suggestion

on my 29 gallon i need to add a top when my pc bulbs come in. i was running a no top setup but hte lights were getting badly covered in salt residue. so im gonna put a top when my light come in. just some thing to look out for.

2 96 watt bulb?......it doesn't seem like you have enough lighting....i have a 29 gallon with 250 watts on it....but your tank looks good anyway:)

depends on what he/she wants to put in there. that is 192 watts, thats about 6 1/2 watts/ gallon, that is enough lighting for high lighting corals:happyfish
