Pictures of the new display tank

I posted pics under the new display tank thread. Figured I better post them in a seperate thread just in case some of you overlook the thread. Will take more picture another time when I go to the shop.

Well I saw the new tank today with the LED lights on, awesome, Jennings, you did a great job on those lights. The blue bulbs really make those zoas pop. What really surprized me was how high above the tank the lights are, wasn't expecting that. Obewan said the par numbers are good and thats how high the lights need to be, anyway, a great tank.

It's a Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom. I have had it for about 4 years. I know it is not the latest and greatest but it has worked pretty dang good.

little word mix up and do not want anyone to misread, the Par values are good true but the reason was not that they need to be so high because of LEDs but rather I need to get in and out and work on it and catch stuff all day and wanted the room. I know this tanks awesomeness has everyone at first thinking this is a show/display tank but its actually there to sell the stuff out of :lol: So it had to be designed to both look attractive but also be functional for its daily task :D
And again I cannot recommend the work of Jennings and Archie enough, I hope their work creates more $$$ making opportunities for them! of course they both have real jobs but hey some play money on the side does not hurt

Thanks to everyone for the complements. I'm glad the lights came out as well as they did. If anyone is interested in getting costom lights built, let me know and I will give you a quote. For a 48" it will be around $1200 depending on what you are looking for. Or if you want to build your own, I can point you in the right direction.
