About time I posted some pics of my current tank. It's a small nano that is a stop gap before my planned 48x24x18 in the new year.

It houses a Tomato Clown and various softies, shrooms, zoo's, LPS and SPS frags

Full Tank - T8's Only (Arcadia 15w Marine White and Marine Actinic) - It was run on just these tubes for nearly 2 years with no problems - apart from horrible pink colour that became apparent after adding T5's

Full Tank - T5 Only (Interpet 36w T5 Power Compact 50/50 daylight/Blue Moon)

Full Tank - T8's and T5 - Notice not much in the way of difference once the T5's added compared to T5 on their own!

Full Tank - T8 Actinic Only

looks a bit empty sine i last saw it! did you sell on a load of stock/rock or have you reaquascaped?

anyway should look good, i'm guessing your still playing with camera settings and stuff.

This tank is different to the one you saw! It has the same footprint but is about 3-4" deeper and re-scaped with an island in the middle, in fact I actually removed a couple of pieces of rock in this one for a more open look.

The piccies were taken in high res but have lost their detail in the resizing to fit the board uploader restrictions...still more tinkering required I think!
