Right now there are 2 36 inch double bright leds, i may add more, but i wanted to see how it looks, there will be three filter socks above the bio balls in the pic (he has to cut the acrylic holders today) but after it goes down that chamber it runs into a 100 gallon sump with three inputs that are running through a pad then drip tray onto more bio media both exposed and submersed there are 2 pumps pushing water back totalling 3200 gph, one pump is split off before the return runs through a UV and through a 40 long that is plumbed in for hospital/pups/etc... i will post pics of all of it once done done, or later today...lol I did underestimate the amount of bio balls so i will be picking up more
 
Very nice tank!
How about some filtration pics...sounds awesome.

Looking great!!!!!!!! Congrats hope all goes well and defintly need to see some filtration pics!

Thanks guys!!!

I will do a filter photo shoot today, but i can not be happier with how it turned out!

THANK YOU RT 4 Aquarium!!!!
 
as requested a look at the guts of the system...

Three 2 inch top drains to maximize floor space, draining into a 28x 40 bio-tower ( rt4 specialty) holding a mix of bio balls and marine pure cermaic balls and blocks.

The media is a mix of matrix/bioballs (need more) and marinire pure blocks both submerged and exposed

the return is run by a bluline 100 and coralife 1280 there is a 25 watt uv in line as well as a 40 long for used as a hospital/growout etc. returned by 4 jets through the top of the tank
