Wow your tank is amazing!

I am just now setting up a 65 gallon SPS dom tank.

I am still working on the build and everything and am going with LEDs. Mine is currently being built with a good mix of green red blue cool and warm white led's added to it to help make the corals pop. I hope on my tank it will stand a chance of looking as nice as yours.

Best advice would be to go to a fish store to see the lights in person. Seeing that you are in Miami I would imagine there is a plethora of reef stores in the area.

You lose a lot when looking at photos unless they pictures are touched up properly.

yes, I agree. happysacks photos do not do that tank justice. Not trying to trash your photography skills, but there's no way a camara can pick up what the eyes see when standing next to this tank! it looks Waaay better in person.
