tank identification...?

[vejomatic]

can anyone identify this tank...? Also, would anyone like to chime in on it's design and possible suiteability as a reef tank? The only corals im absolutely set on so far is Zoo's...and lots of them.
Anyone?
Tank Specs:
It is a corner tank with three panes of glass making up the front. Each pane is 13"Wide and 23"Tall. The two back "corner" pieces are 22" Wide and 23" Tall.
Thanks ALL!

I think it is about a 37 gal corner tank. What you turn it into is completly up to you. Make sure you have enough turn overe rate for your water and enough watts for lighting and it should be a good reef tank.

More like 42gal

would anyone have any lighting suggestions for such a tank? keep in mind that zoo's and other softies will be the main attraction. Also, I would love to have one "main attraction", a centerpiece if you will...just not sure what that might be.

Being a noobie myself, I'm no expert on lighting but for a reef tank, I think the recommended lighting is 5 watts per gallon. I have a 46gal with a 192 watt PC fixture, that gives me about 4.1 watts per gallon, I have only one small frag of xenia right now, but would like to get more in the future. The xenia seem to be doing fine under that light, but Im not sure about more delicate corals. With the same fixture I have on your tank, you will have about 4.5 watts per gallon, that might be good enough to keep some soft corals....
But as always, wait for the experts to chime in...
