My tank is only 6 months old, so no big deal. Besides my camera needs upgrading, when I post pics, don't get to many comments on the blurry pics

It is not just piled in as I wanted lost of good circulation throughout the whole tank. You would have to see it in person to see what I'm talking about.
Then I stand corrected
.. very sweet but my opinion was based on those angles of the tank...seeing the pic you posted later shows the slope you mention... Kick ASS tank man .....and I hope you have taken every measure to ensure that it stays that way....power outage, generator, or battery backup...etc etc.... thats to much $$, blood, sweat, and tears to see anything bad happen.
SIMPLY Beautiful!

Hey Reefer
Yep after Frances(3wks no pwr) and Jeanne(2wks no pwr) almost wiped out my old 75g, I have back up generator, actually during Wilma I lost power for 2weeks as well. Thank god for the generator. The hardest part was finding gas anywhere. I started with 45 gallons and that lasted a week... Man it sucks to lose poiwer for that long....Thanksfor the comments

Nice job, I kinda figured you were in Florida with all those rics!!!! Are you collecting yourself or buying local? Looks awesome.
.
You can never have too much LR, check out pics of my tank and you'll see that I'm on the same page as you and your tank setup/design. I also like to keep my tank equipment setups pretty simple, funny how so many people put hours and hours of design work and $$$ into plumbing elaborate systems, when all you need is a tank, lots of LR, a good pump, some power heads, skimmer and good lighting to create the Jewel that you now have....Good job.

Wow, you could probably sell all your rics and have twice the value of my tank.
I wish I had a lfs so bad. Your tank looks so good I might drive to Florida and steal it. j/k. Good job, it's got to be one of my favorite tanks on this board. What kind of live rock do you stock it with and how did you afford it all? My first purchase of live rock was $10 per pound for crap rock I find out later. Live and learn I guess. More pictures!!!!

I bought most of it online about $4 a lb, most of which comes from Fiji. Around here there is Hatian LR for around $3 a lb uncured straight from Hati. It has some really cool shapes and sizes. The 75lb piece that makes up the shelf in the center of the tank came from the reef here in Jupiter about 23 years ago, when it was legal to take it. An old Jupiter salt hooked me up with that piece.
