God I love your tank.............

LOL, thanks man! That's very nice

Okay lighting: It's all 10,000K white light tubes/bulbs. Some are 96W and some are 65W. The bulbs are all three months new so everything is very bright.

Your tank looks excellent. I'm still in the process of setting up an automatic drip line. Work keeps getting in the way. I think this is the first time I've been on MFK in a month.

Great Job, love the 3D background!! With your drip system, do you have to treat your water with any chemicals?

No. I just use the same straight unfiltered tap water my family uses

I did the same in my living room. Much better to watch than the television.

Wow Egon I love the setup and ease of Maint. I can't believe I missed this in the past

I run my tap water through a sediment filter, 2 carbon, and 2 DI's. My lfs told me that the copper pipe I was going to use would put copper in the water. Of course I do have a ray and discus. Just my 2 cents.
Your tank looks awesome! I wish I had the room, but I'm maxed out with my 240.

PEX tubing...way easier to work with than copper.

I think Egon already knows this though, since he's the one that told me about it.
