Very nice looking! It's definitely got great color, but then all the pics of your tank that I've seen in the past do.

Your tank looks amazing. I also have a 72 bowfront and I'm thinking about upgrading my lights. What kind of lights do you have on that tank? Also, what do you use for your water movement? Thanks.

I would for sure go with the 28, that is what I ended up with and I absolutely love it! I have had corals just explode in there! I can get you a great source too from where I got mine if you want to pm me. Beautiful tank by the way!

its the nova pro 6x54w. the 28 nanocube is nice, but i dont want to run a chiller. it seems like its very hard to keep temps constant with the canopy, without using a chiller. for me, it's all about simplicity; no sump, no chiller, just live rocks and water movements. my 2 tanks r running this way.

NYCBOB, in one of your old posts you mentioned that you had a 2x150 Sunpod. Did you have it on this tank? I was actually thinking about that light, if you don't mind me asking, why did you change it? How high is your Nova Pro from the top of the water? Are you using the mounting legs that came with the light? One more question, I promise, is your top open or do you have a glass top? Thanks.

So far I have not had any problems with the temp at all, but then again I keep the house at 70 degrees all day. There is only the overflow on the back with everything being contained in one tank. Pretty clean. Good luck on whatever you find though!

Amazing Bob!!
I am very interested in what you have as far as filter equipment under the tank?(skimmer, reactors, etc.)
I want to do what you are doing. Obviously it is working.

very simple setup. a hob whisper filter and a hob fuge. i dont run a skimmer anymore, but i used to. i depend mostly on liverocks and water movements. i also change 10-15% of water weekly. with 5 tridacnid clams, i dont feel skimming is necessary 24/7.
