Anybody have pics of 33gal long tanks?

I have a stand/canopy that I had a 55gal tank on, but sold it. I don't want to setup anything I can't take down and move with me, so thought the next logical size might be a 33L so I can still use my stand canopy.

Anybody have pics, or resources of places that may have pictures of people with 33 longs? What kinda equipment, lighting are you using? I'm probably going to use some T-5's and probably use the coralife superskimmer.

Just curious.

my 33L:
- using 50/50 PC lights (I dont even know the output...250ish watts i think)
- filtered using HOB with carbon/poly material
- currently about 40lbs rock
- setup as a med flow softie tank

Because its a super shallow tank, Ive seen people grow SPS under these conditions...(although I dont recommend it).

This is a great tank for the simple reason that its super shallow and long. The advantages to this design are endless.

Id rethink your skimmer, simply because if you pack this tank with LR (which you certainly can...Ive had upto 80lbs of LR in there at once) you wont need it, unless your running an SPS tank or intend on a bunch of fish.
