Looks good! Is that eggcrate on top of the tank? If it is, you're going to lose a lot of your lights intensity as it will reflect & block a lot of light from getting into the tank.

Hi Kris,
Yes it is eggcrate but the jury is out on that one. Some old readings from Anthony Calfo suggest the opposite is true, that it actually reflects the light down. Either way the lights are so bright for my softies and LPS and they're suspended 16" above the surface. 2X 250 watt 14000k Phoenix bulbs. The light is a bright white with a blue tint, much less blue than it appears in the pics. I love the Aqua Medic external ballasts.
My mind is at ease with eggcrate because I don't want to risk losing a fish to jumping. It seems that they will never jump until one day it happens and you wish you had the tank covered ; )
