thanks, the coral to the left of the regal tang is a purple monti cap, if you look at the sandbed, i figured bang would appreciate the clown pic, i actually took that with the lights completely off and a delayed flash.

So tell us about your setup, you cant just post beautiful pics and not tell us how your are doing it.
I am real curious as to how you manage to keep the front back and sides of the glass perfectly clean.
what kind of lighting are you useing.
i am expermenting with growing some montipora under different lights.
so far in the last 2 months the growth rate under 300 watts of PC in one tank and 300 watts of MH in another tank is the same.

your tank is beautiful but do you really have slate in there? arent you afraid of it leaching minerals into your water?
Just in case you didn't know.
Chemically slates are multi-mineral rocks made of an aggregate of minerals and colloidal substances. Essentially, mineral composition includes members of mica group commonly sericite & muscovite, clay group commonly paragonite, chlorite & kaonilite. The accessory minerals are oxides, calcites & minor amounts of quartz and feldspar(source of silicates) along with subordinate amounts of ferro-magnesian minerals.
