Very nice and clean looking "downgrade"! How are you liking the LED strips? They look very blue from the pictures. I'm thinking of maybe using a couple of them for actinic supplementation.
 
J the strips are grealt,although I need 1 more 50/50 strip to put where the feeding door is,so it can shine in the front.

Thor thanks. The mp20 is a power house in the cube lol

Dude those stunnerstrips are awesome. THinking of getting some myself. Let me know how they are doing with the livestock.
 
These are the panorama led strips,the stunner strips are more for supplement ligthing. My corals so far,including sps are doing great. So much better then the stock pc bulbs and no heat. Im happy with it so far
 
I really like the way this looks. Your tank looks awesome. I am however going to have to say that the orange yuma in the first pic in post #13 wrote me today and asked if it could come to my tank for a while. So you should think about it and get back to me. :)
 
Ah hah, negotiating huh. That crazy yuma. Sounds like a plan. I have a couple of zoo's laying around here.

This is an awesome aquarium. =) I really like your aquascaping. I tried to redo mine the other day and then gave up. That is why it looks so bad on my updated pictures. Very well organized. Wish I had the $$$ for the Panorama strips. Keeping the tank enclosed is something I would have preferred. It looks so much nicer that way.
