how much would you approximate it cost in total to set it up? looks awesome btw

I'll answer a few questions here... then post a couple full tank pics. Yes, it's a true percula. It's wild caught. They had some tank raised, but my wife saw this one and wanted it, so hey, why not. So far it's doing very well, ate good this morning.

As far as the cost of the tank, I try not to think about it Yesterday we bought the light, glass top, fish, and some food, and it was over $150. Previous trips were around $100, so I'd say so far, we've spent about $350-400 total. The tank has 15lbs of live rock, 10lbs of live sand, an aquaclear HOB filter, and an aquaclear powerhead. We plan on having corals soon, which is why we got the new light. Here are som full tank pics...

Is that an visitherm heater?

btw I would suggest putting the heater horizontal or at an angle

Just out of interest, how comes? Juwel tanks are all fitted with heaters that sit vertically in the water.

Why, all of my heaters are vertical and straight and they work just fine and heat the tank to 78 degrees.
