I like the tank. I’m currently building a tank with similar dimensions. It roughly 36X28X18 and I was wondering if you think the single metal halide is enough to support your tank alone. I will like to supplement it with actinic, but to start I’m looking at a single 250 watt reflector pendant.

Looks great! These are the exact dimensions that I'm going to use for my next tank (Which is a while a way but I can still dream)

 

I've been trying to find one at the same size on here and it's really helped to see one.

 

Quick Q's.

 

Can I see how you have set up your sump?

 

And... How's your Sailfin doing? One of my favourite fish and I would love to get one but I'm just not sure if they get to big for that size of tank.

 

Looking forward to seeing more of the tank :)

They grow to 15", so yes, they need way more than a 30" tank.

I sold the sailfin awhile back due to its size, This tank has been sold or i would show off the sump. Here are some photos in dedication to this system!
