Here's the Edge 4 weeks in. Still running the CFL's and Halogens. Should be receiving the LED setup late this week.

what kind of lighting is that? From what it looks its not very strong as it dont hit much on the sides of the tank just the middle...

I saw this tank at Petco and would have bought it if the top had an open lid but it the whole top was covered, hope you dont have a hard time with that saltwater tanks need a lot of oxygen and I dont see how you are going to accomplish that with the whole top being covered. Great looking tank though you may need to rearange the whole top fixture to get the lighting to work:)

hmm, good luck cleaning that thing. you can't reach most of the places since you can only get through the hole in the top.

Sorry for the late reply, the lighting right now are 2x 6" Coralife CFL's and the 2x10w Halogens that come with the tank. I have however ordered 2x10w MR11 LED's to replace the Halogens as well as some LED lighting from:

The LED's will 10K daylight with blue as well as Moonlight and Redlight.

 

The top of the tank is a tight fit. The large live rock piece barely fit. I've had the tank running now for 4 weeks and things are going well. I'll post some new pics soon. As for the air exchange i have installed a Nano powerhead directed at the tank opening. It moves enough water and keeps things fresh. Thanks for all the interest!
