Thanks for the replies so far. Yes I do have it setup as a room divider, I lovet he way it give the rock and fish a more 3D look. I've had it setup for a little over 4 months but have only had it lit up for 2. I'm going out to Jims this weekend for some frags to help get this "small" ocean stocked up.

Hey Chris, With that lock line so far under the surface, what keeps the top third of the tank from draining into the sump and flooding during a power failure??

I think it's ok as long as you have an anti-syphon hole in the 90 degrees PVC that the Lockline are attached to.

Did you buy this from Austin Aquariums? I remember seeing an oceanic tank with the two overflows on either side sitting in the middle of the store some time back. Looks good.

I'm running 3 400 Watt XM 20K's. They dont look that blue in person just when you takes pictures. I remember Jim having the same problem with his pics being that blue too. I'm gonna eventually supplement 10K PC's as well.

are the 400w 20ks bluer than the 250w 20ks or are they the same? i'm runing 2-250w 10ks and 1- 250w 20k but i have a 400w ballast that i want to put a 20k in. just wondering on the color between the two

To me Dan they're whiter than the 250 watt 20K.
