This is what it looks at end of first stage and beginning of 2nd phase.

In the first pics, you can see the Tunze wave maker is creating a wave over 1.5" high.
At the client's request, I am planning to make a wave maker that can make over 2"-3" wave plus it has to not an eye sore.

If you look closely, there are adjustable spray bars horizontally and vertically-hopefully to bring water movement to every corner of the tank. In fact, there a maze of water network underneath the sand to produce RUG water flow.

Nut.....looks beautiful and I'd expect nothing short of that from you.

One Q, why didn't you paint the back glass (acrylic) or use contact paper?

The client insists this way.
However, there is a very small gap at the back where I can put a backplate(3D background to it if he finally changes his mind.

Wow thats a great set up. Could you elaborate more on the three different types of lighting ? Meaning is it a combo of vho, t5 and mh to accomdate all types of animals or ?

	MH Metal Halide Lighting, typically used for high intensity light demanding corals such as SPS. Bulbs come in varieties of spectrums (7k, 10k,20k), and intensity (175W, 250W, 400W).

	VHO Very High Output Fluorescent Lighting - Fluorescent bulbs that run on special ballasts and have an output that is significantly higher than normal tubes. It is very possible to run an entire reef system on VHO lighting providing the proper number of bulbs and mixture of spectrums are chosen. For most hobbyists, these tubes are used in conjunction with Metal Halide lighting for simulating dawn and dusk. They often provide the "bluer" end of the light spectrum and thus a more aesthetically appealing display.

Possible because the owner already met you before and I think he wouldn't mind. But we have to do it within the coming week.

Skimmer is the Tunze 9025??? Which seems to be a good skimmer but I have to hate it coz, the sudden addition of this by the client changes the way how the skimmate are collected and I found no where to make a waste container. It does not have a collection cup. The hose they provide is too big for almost anywhere it can go easily. I have improvise another connection. I will get pics later as how the final conenction of skimmers are made

Lighting system will not be up until after the summer.
