ya built the stand my self, i had to put the sump in the closet because my teacher wanted a center brace and i still need to build doors.

no the sand is not live but i took my old live sand in my sump so there was no cycle
heres some updated pics of the tank and some cool shots of my goby
once again shane did an amazing job on the rock work, i was doing the right side but i just had him do it and it all turned out awsome

side view its sweet


my goby and clown

some pics of just the goby, my fish are very photogenic, my clown is but he moves to fast to get any real good pics


my lights set up, im to poor to spend 50$ on the light stands so i built my own and look really unsturdy but they are really sturdy

and lastly my lights

How are those sps doing with the lps? Do they cause any problems for eachother?
I am getting a monti cap this weekend. My first sps.

idk why people think lps and sps cant go together, just as long as they cant touch each other than there fine.
but im stoked the browned out coral i got is turning green

I found out the only real problem would be leathers, but not any LPS.
I wasn't jumping on you for having them both in the same tank, I was simply asking if you had any problems with it because I am fixing to do the same thing.
Chill out.

SPS' can excrete a toxin in the water, that's why you don't see tanks littered with SPS' and Lps'
