upgraded to a oceanic 215 ultimate with starfire glass front.
Hi everyone. I just upgraded to a 215 Oceanic Ultimate reef ready with starfire front glass. Dimensions are 72x24x29. Very nice looking tank. Beveled edges, black silicone, large glass middle brace. The middle brace is a bit larger than I anticipated. Reaching the middle is a bit cumbersome but I love the tank. I put 2-250 metal halides and 2x39watt daylight t-5 HO and 2x 39watt actinic t-5 HO lights. Here are some initial photos.

Drummereef those are the new tunze. I like how you can angle them. I do think for some reason they take in air. I have noticed I have more microbubbles than I did with the old ones. I do not think many people have found this to be a problem but for some reason I do.
Jake198030 I think I just need to adjust the rock a bit to make it look less compact. I am not a big fan of too much rock. In person it does not really look empt. I can however tell my husband that it is too empty and thus I just had to buy that new coral
