Is that a person in that tank? 

Sure is, and yes this is the same tank as previously listed. Its former version got away from me, algae-wise, but this time we have the opportunity to try a few different things, such as polishing the inside of the tank.



Tank Size - 96" Long x 48" Wide x 24" Tall, 11/4" thick Acrylic   
Filtration - Reservoir with Live Rock 
Pump(s) - One Iwaki 100RLT, Three 3800 GPH Spa Pumps   
Protien Skimmer - 5ft. Top Fathom, venturi driven 
Lighting - Two 400 wt 20,000K-HQI MH, Six 110 wt. VHO Flourescents 
Additional Equipment - Seaswirl, osc.discharge  
Placement - In Wall between Living Room and Office

Note how the foam bulged up after drying. Once dried the foam was then picked out leaving a clean look yet enough still was left to secure the joints.

Another change that was made was to a 20,000K HQI Metal Halide lighting system. These lights really give the impression of being below the surface.

Now that the tank is cycled Scott is eager to begin adding livestock....
