I haven't been on here for awhile and thought i would share what my tank looks like (since a lot of you deserve credit for my success)....
a couple fts and then some partial shots...
sorry the pics aren't the best but what do you think...

here are a couple more... the hammer and brain aren't doing to well... i lost a head on the hammer shortly after i put it in the tank but the other 3 were doing good until about a month and a half ago when i got sick (think it was the h1n1 crap) and i fell behind in the wc's and feeding but it is doing better today than it was... my pom pom xenia has been in there for about 4 months and it wont grow but the other xenia has about doubled in the last couple weeks (i started feeding oyster feast)... the rest i think is doing well..
you can see all my fish in the photos (yellow tang, hippo tang, 2 clowns, and lawnmower blenny)... the lawnmower is in the last pic above the shrooms (really hard to see)... i want to get a mandrine for my last fish but i will be moving next summer and will probably get it sometime after that...

oh... tank is 48"x36"x18" (135g) with a 55g sump... although its not a 6' tank and i have tangs there is a ton of swimming room between the front glass and rock and they seem really happy...
after looking closer at the pics i see the bubbles and that some of the corals are a little smaller than usual... i just finished a 15% wc right before the pics so thats where that is coming from...
i hope to get a house next summer closer to my job (i live in an apt right now)... if i can get a house i want to get a bigger tank for a sting ray but thats a dream right now

Aside from needing sometyhing to clean up the sand...really good job! I really like the way you did your rocks..it made a great looking reef wall. Everything looks pretty dang healthy to me...

Looks good,lots of things going on.Thats an odd shape for a tank.I don't think i ever saw one with that footprint.
for some reason i wanted to build one and thats the size i went with... i wanted tangs but didnt have the space for the 6' tank so the 4'x3'=6'x2'.... i know the length is important but i thought the area would be good for the tangs...
