How many gallons approx it it?, my deam home tank will be roughly 1500, yes I will be saving for a long time. I have a trust fund for me for college, If I can save that and use scholarships etc that will give me a good head start.

first of all, i read the first post.
second, he certainly could do an sps tank of this size with vho lighting. ive just seen one of the nicest sps tanks around 25" deep with only vho lighting. ill take pics of some of the frags i picked up from the guy and you tell me if the colors are not just as nice as under mh lighting.
if you new anything about sps, you would know that lighting is more like 5th or 6th on the list of importance.

Easy boy...you just lost a lot of credibility with me. I in no way said anything abrasive or derogatory unlike your post. FYI, for a tank 25 inches deep you will need at least 250's for SPS. I don't even know what to say if you think lighting is 5th or 6th on list of importance in an SPS tank.
Please show me your SPS tank, and better yet show me an SPS tank with VHO's only.
And please do not respond in this thread, email me. I certainly didn't intend to highjack this thread as such, sorry for this nonsense Goodwin9.

I assumed you would click on my profile and email me, but to make it easy for you REIrwin79@yahoo.com
NIRUA64, I'm not sure if you want any of my sps, apparently I don't "new anything about sps"
. Drop me an email, and I'd be glad to help you out.
End of the highjacking and congrats to Goodwin. This is your thread.
But, I'm willing to bet money he will highjack this thread again, I can't imagine what that screen name means?

*sigh*, sorry I did not read the first post, wow total volume 760 gallons! very impressive, Imo you should do the rockwork much like steve weast did,without the sloping from the sides, for like a natural reef, that scales up fast, then flattens out, on top, with bumps, and then another rise at the back
JMO GL keep us posted

That's a monster... looks like a 5lbs CO2 tank, you may have to upgrade that -LOL
