New Tall Tank Idea

silverwolf72 · 08/06/2009, 01:21 AM

Just sharing an idea I had for a tall and narrow tank.
Using T5HO on both sides to give light to the bottom of the tank and a MH at the top.
The main issue I see is trying to clean the thing.

And if its taller than 36" I would also think about the 1000W halide sucking all that power unless you are thinking of only doing higher light corals in the top half..Cleaning it would be fun
