Well yesterday I got a big box of goodies from a great hobbiest and friend "Sanjay the light guy" My tank is now well over my limit of coral and my sea grass tank may never see any grass due to no room
Some of the frags he sent were amazing I am just so thankful he considers me a frined I am so lucky. I will get some pics as soon as everything settles down.

Cool, I love rimless tanks. They have such a clean, modern look. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Actually, while checking out the link you gave, I noticed the 5.5g. That may be a nice nano for my new office that I move to in June/July/August (depending on construction deadline).

Here are some pictures it has been awhile...
Hawkins Echinata and some frags I got from Sanjay.
Red planet and my favites.
My blue with orange rim and center fungia and the orange cycloserus behind it.
My chalice
Red table frag, green fungia half, and a green acro frag half..
Palythoa grandis.
RPE's, Lunar Eclipse palys, purple stylo, pink stylo, Meteor shower cyphastrea, yellow watchman peeking around the right.

A few shots of progress.
Full tank shot main tank.
Angle full tank.
Middle of the tank love that Monti.
Now my real true love, "my sea grass tank/refugium.
My favites real sweet really need to mount it
This is a new growth an the shoal grass I'm more happy about this than way back when I first got sps to grow.
This is new growth Turtle Grass was somewhat difficult to acclimate but seems to be running now.
Of course these guys "my last wild clowns" are snug as a bug within the heliofungia surrounded by grass. This is the way I saw this coral in the Philippines and always wanted to mimic the environment, "just no clowns".

"Dave hides his shame at the late reply"
I use the Hamilton Caymen fixture, with Giesmens 22k mega chrome lamps. I have a 250w DE over the reef, and a 150w DE over the sea grass tank. I have the hamilton ballast on the 250w and a lumarek electronic I believe is the name on the 150w. I prefer the electronic by far you can really drive the lamp bright.
My only complaint on the fixture is the moonlight led is on the side of the fixture only covering a small area on one side of the tank.
Hamilton Cayman Sun Reflector, fixture,
Lumatek 250W 120/240V Dimmable / Multi-Wattage Ballast Kit, ballast,
22000K Metal Halide Bulb - Megachrome Blue, Mogul Base, lamp,
I did not see the 150w? If you want to look in to 150, call them MD is pretty good.
