Wow, pretty cool!! I've never seen a split tank like that before. How is it as far as maintaining water parameters?? Is it like maintaining a 60 gallon, or is it like maintaining 2 30 gallon tanks (just wondering since smaller tanks do take more time).
Very cool looking...I like. What kind of lighting did you get? Post more pics.

Pretty much like maintaing a 65g tank. All my levels are good. No flucuations at all. The new light is a coralife with 2 65w 10k bulbs and 2 65w atinic bulbs with 4 moonlights. I can actually watch my little guys swim at night which is the coolest. The blue pic at the bottom is the moonlights by themselves. I cant wait to get a few corals in the tank. This is my next purchase.

Havent had any real plans on what I am going to do. Just playing it by ear at the moment. The fishes swim back and forth. I have a 6" convict blenny in the tank who loves to explore back and forth. He had a mate but she jumped out of the tank and I didnt know till a few days later when I found fish jerky behind the tank... Was very distraught about that. My next big purchase is going to include:
A pair of perc clownfish
Some anemones for the clownfish
An Vermiculated Angelfish
A Orangeback Basslet
A Royal Gamma
A Brittle Starfish
Should be getting them in a few weeks. Can't wait
