Thanks nike, It's been running since sept and has been a lot of fun, with minimal headaches so far. My biggest loss has been the super male and other female flame wrasse going MIA.

I couldnt agree more. I've just been trying out some small frags of sps to see what my lights can support but so far everything has done very well. Any specfic reconmendations you think would do well?

Man it looks beautiful, I like the shots where you can see the depth of the tank on the corners. It looks endless. And the blennie shot is really cool. All the fish look really healthy.

Maintenance isn't to bad I have garbage cans set up for top offs and w/c that I just rotate a pump around in. The motor of the MP40 sits outside of the tank which is why you see half the ph outside of it
Thanks everyone
