    Nice photos but they do not do the fish in there justice for how they look in person.

    Thanks Brian.

    All the fish have adjusted well. The scopas has mellowed after a couple of days so back to a pretty peaceful tank.

    Fish List
    Lets start with the tangs
    VlamingiHippoLieutenant(tennenti)Blonde NasoScopas2 YellowsSailfin
    Crosshatch Trigger(male)Magnificent RabbitfishPyramid ButterflyChromisZebra Eel
    As far as favorites many of them are but for many different reasons.  The ones with the most personality would be the Vlamingi, Crosshatch and will soon be the Naso.  The Naso is fairly new and still settling in but we can tell he doesn't have a care in the world.  The Magnificent is because she was the first in the tank. I would never be able to choose just one.

    540 gallons of pure WOW!
    Bryan is right, the pics don't do the fish or tank justice.  It is truly a beautiful setup!

    Setting up a 560 and just ordered my first 4 AI LEDs how's the coverage on them was told by the guys at AE in davenport that 4 would be enough for sps if they where hung above the tank a foot or so and the coverage would be enough for the back 18" of the tank. Noticed that you have 8 but they hang low. What do you think and my tanks 10' long 30"deep and 36" front to back. What the dimensions of your tank if you don't mind for I can compare hoe they look.

    The dimensions of the tank are 8' long 3' wide and 3' deep.  I agree that you will probably get the 18" cover from front to back with the AI's.  I'm not so sure about the side to side coverage.  As you can tell by the pictures, at the height that we have them at they do not have a great spread.  I would assume that the higher you would hang them the better the coverage would be.  We are probably 6-9 inches off the top of the water, only about 4 inches off the top of the tank.  There will be no issue with the depth of the tank.  I have found that these seem to penetrate the depth much better than the MH we had before these.  We do not keep much for coral so I'm not sure what luck people have had with their SPS under them.  We have zoas, mushrooms, leathers, brains, anemones and had no issues when we changed to the LEDs.  You said you ordered your first 4, how many more do you plan on adding?
    I'm not sure where you are located but we will be having a BBQ here on June 18th with the QC group and you are more than welcome to come check the lights out then.  If interested you can find the details in our regional forum.

    Thanks for the tank dimensions. Was planing on adding just 2 more if I could get the coverage I want. Thanks for the information and coverage opinion. And would love too see the set up will try too make it up your way will have to check the schedule, I'm in southeast Iowa by Burlington.
