Full specs:
Somatic by Vertex
Somatic has created the ideal modular sump and skimmer system for tanks up to 80 gallons. Start with just the sump and skimmer system and add Somatic modular components as you desire.
Footprint - 16.5" x 16.5"
Height with skimmer - 23"
The Somatic 60 Filtration System is the perfect sump for cube tanks or other nano-systems that require a well thought out modular sump system. With modular add-on components like the Return Pump Basket or the Filter Sock Holder you can customize the sump with the accessories that you need and are purpose built components that will fit perfectly within the 60 Filtration System. By just adding your favorite return pump and heater you will have a ready-to-run sump system.
Water first enters in the filter sock compartment that also has brackets that will hold a 8" x 1" MarinePure Ceramic Media Block (not included) on the bottom of the sump box increasing the biological filtration capability. Water will then overflow into the main compartment of the sump where the skimmer can be placed with the return pump and any other pumps or filters that you desire.
One of the hardest things when choosing a sump is selecting the right skimmer that fits with the sump. The included 60S Space Saving Skimmer fits perfectly in the Somatic 60 Sump and is powered by a reliable and quiet Sicce pump that perfectly mixes the air and water together to help fractionate any organics or proteins out of your tanks water.
Suggested Tank Size:
Well Stocked - 50 gallons
Medium Stocked - 65 gallons
Lightly Stocked - 80 gallons
Specifications:
Sump w/ Skimmer Dimensions - 16.5" L x 16.5" W x 23" H
Sump Box Dimensions - 16.5 L x 16.5 W x 12.5" H
60S Protein Skimmer Dimensions - 9" L x 9" W x 22.5" H
Main Drain Compartment Dimensions - 3.75" x 10"
Skimmer Compartment Dimensions - 16" x 11.75"
What's Included?
1x Somatic 60 Sump Box
1x Somatic 60s Space Saving Skimmer

Okay I lied. Was going to announce the Big grand Prize yesterday but the final item for the 3 item set didnt come in yet. It comes in today though, so once I collect that I will post it up.
I'll give you guys some hints though, see if anyone can guess it. I posted earlier that we had a big new event sponsor, but didnt mention what their contribution was. Aquatic Art is also pitching in on this one, so big thanks to @crisc and crew for that!

Thats right it a
!!!!!48" T5/LED combo fixture from AquaticLife plus 2x Kessil A360WE Tuna Blue LED lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FULL SPECS:
- Hybrid Fixture
Welcome to the future of aquarium lighting!
Combine your favorite LED Light module along with Aquatic Lifes T5 lighting fixture to create a stellar lighting system!
Accepts three Ecotech, AI, or Kessil LED Light Module
Owners Manual
Aquatic Life's T5HO Hybrid Lighting Fixture lets you combine your favorite LED light module between two banks of T5 lights. The T5 lights are powered by HEP Ballasts for fast firing and excellent color rendition. Each T5 lamp has their own reflector and is held in by traditional bulb clips that have a plastic coating to protect your bulb. Aquatic Life has even gone above and beyond by including silicone end caps that make changing bulbs super fast and easy.
When you combine LED and T5 lighting you can have the best of both worlds. T5 lighting has a proven track record with their full spectrum bulbs and edge to edge coverage, and almost anyone can have success with the right fluorescent lamps. Being in the 21st century everything we own must have some type of control, and that is where T5 fails, but LED shines. LED lights are known for their ability to ramp up and down giving dusk to dawn effects while being able to change colors and spectrums throughout the day as well. LED lights provide great shimmer, and when paired with T5 lights almost creates a realistic look that you would actually find in a shallow reef.
Pair the Aquatic Life Hybrid fixture with some of the most popular LEDs like Kessil, Ecotech, or Aqua Illumination for a successful combination of T5 and LED lighting. Each hybrid fixture includes two different mounts that can accept some of the larger lights like the Kessil A360 and Aqua Illumination Hydra FiftyTwo HD, but also some of the smaller modules like the AI Prime HD and Ecotech XR15w lights.
Specifications:
Dimensions - 48" L x 18" W x 1.5" H
Distance between T5 Lights - 7"
Number of Power Cords - 2
Cord Length - 6ft
What's Included?
1x 48" T5HO Hybrid Fixture
3x Round Fixture Bracket
3x Standard Fixture Bracket
1x Hanging Kit
- 2x Kessil A360WE Tuna Blue LED lights
Dense Matrix LED
Kessil has spent millions of dollars and five years researching a different approach to LED. Instead of individually wrapped LED chips, Kessil tightly packs them together. This results in blends of different light wavelengths before they leave the light, providing uniform color throughout your tank. The single light source eliminates the spotlight effect, effectively spreading the light over a wide area.
Kessil Logic™
The new proprietary Kessil Logic™ is featured on the A360 LEDs. It is a unique form of spectral intelligence developed for precise color blending and optimal coral growth. Before you could vary the light intensity of two different channels to find the desired color and intensity mix. Now users can select the perfect spectrum and color with one knob and then adjust the intensity with the other boosting the light output at both ends of the spectral tuning range by as much as 30%.

If you were to win the grand prize, what bulb combos would you use with?
Also looks like I still have a few items coming in. I'll post up once they are here

I think I would use one blue and one high Kelvin white in each side and put them on a timer so there is a rotating light affect from front to back during the photo period. Try to eliminate LED shadows that occur with SPS. With 200 watts of T5 and two kessils on top this thing is a beast.
