Well, I think its more like an informercial :D :D It is the Penn State tank and I do help manage it and take care of it.

With all the Reef Nutrition shirts I have its hard to not be wearing one esp when Gresham is visiting :D

Sanjay,
Are you going to answer our questions about the lights? If you don't want to, just say so.

Well, I thought I had answered the question about what I am using a while back. I don't feel the need to repeat myself especially if its been answered before. But, since my tank thread is on a coule of different boards I may have answered it elsewere, so I will answer it here again.

I use my tank as an experiment for lighting tests that I run. So at different times I may have different bulbs running. For the last year I have been using 3 Icecap Electronic Ballasts with Geismann Coral 400W bulbs since I am running some long term MH life study with this combo. I do like the look of the Giesmann lamps especially since I do not run any opther supplemental lighting. For the reflectors I am using the Lumen Arc III. My lights are on 9 hrs a day, and are staggered by 1/2 hr when they come on, and when they go off. The reflectors are 10" off the water surface.

I think that should answer any questions on what I am doing with my lighting. :D

Was playing around with the wide angle lens taking a few pictures of my FRAG tank. Well, technically it is now a frag tank, since it started from frags and is now my main source of frags. :-)
Thought you might enjoy.

I have to say that after seeing the "millions" of photo's that you have and how you set it up.... that that is how we want to set our tank up... once we are rich and can get something bigger than a 55gal... heh. I like the non blueness of your tank and the pillar look is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome tank! I love the Bellus and Joculator Angel. Where's the other Joculator though? I only spotted one in the pictures you posted and I think it was the same one in all of them.

Chip,

I have had those trio of bellus angels since last July or so. They are doing great and are awesome fish.
