Very nice. Some nice fish in there. What's the lighting setup, is that pink hue true or is that just a color balance issue with the pictures?

very beautiful!!!

I am also interested in learning what bulb combination is being used for that vibrant color. Almost looks like some ATI procolors or similiar red/purple bulb is in the mix there.

Nice to see a well-done softy tank. People complain that there arent softy TOTMs, but thats because there is a lack of serious, well thought out, GOOD LOOKING softy tanks. So here you go softy people, if you want more softy TOTMs, make your tanks look good like this!

if our club is willing to come up with the money for a tank like that, I would allow them to use my house to display it.

Thank you.
We use
- Solaris G 60 inch 20K LED Illumination System in the center
- VHO URI 60 inch 140 watt Actinic Blue Tube x 2, VHO URI 60 inch 140 watt Aquasun Tube x 2 beside
Pink hue is coming from Aquasun.
