Pics of fish

Not the best pics but the tank has been up over a year and figured I would share some photos of the fish.

The tank is a 540

 

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.

 

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.
