same tank...new setup

[scuba steveo]

My Christmas present from my very wonderful wife is awesome. For the past year I have been trying to achieve a nice reef tank with an eclipse hood on a 37 gallon tank. I removed the eclipse lighting and added two 65 watt power compacts for the lighting but this was just not enough. Another huge drawback to the eclipse is that I could not add a protein skimmer. So for Christmas the eclipse went bye bye and my wife bought me an emperor filter, an Aqua C Remora protein Skimmer, and a Geisemann 150watt HQI metal halide light. She gave me everything a few weeks ago and it was all set up the same day. It has only been two weeks since the change but I can already notice a big change. Its jut awesome. I finally have a true reef. I am posting a few pics, I hope you enjoy.

I forgot to tell yall that I gave her a canon s400 digital camera for Christmas, which is very nice for me too. LOL

yes I knew the tang police would say something but I justify him because he is a very small tang and he will be moving to a much larger tank soon (I know that's what everyone says). he has been in the tank for about 4 months now and is doing very well.

And you did it anyways

As long as it is justified. I think I hear something. I hear a Tang yelling:help:

yes the Geisemann's are nice. On the front and back side there is room for me to add a light of some sort. I am thinking that I will do some kind of Actinic that will come on 2 hours before the MH and stay on for two hours after. If anybody has a suggestion on what I should get please let me know. I was thinking of a T5 strip but I have yet to do any research on it. I would also be interested in a moonlight but I have never seen any in a long tube form that I could slide into the Geisemann.
I can attach a pic tonight to show where they can be added. The guy I bought the light from said that he could rig something for me but I am thinking that I can do it myself.
