Lookin good so far....Is that a bubble bar in the first pic?
If so, I'd get rid of it.....also maybe add some more rock to make it taller...

Thanks!
That is red montipora (pic is not great). I got a frag of it about a month ago, and it is finally starting to grow!
The darker photograph of the full tank is with the actinic lights only on. The brighter one is with all 4 of my bulbs on.

Nice start to the tank! I would also say maybe some more rock and some more corals. How do you like the sailfin tang? I was thinking about getting one for my 75 when I get it up and I didnt know how they were temperment wise.

I plan on getting more rock when I can get some more $! This is an expensive hobby! haha...but yes I really enjoy my sailfin! He gets along great with all my fish. I recently added a kole tang and was a bit nervous, but they are getting along great so far! He also picks at the algae and keeps things a little bit clean. Easy tang to keep so far!

i like the style of rocks you have in there. the pieces that look like slates. they would be good to make ledges out of. what kind of rock is that?

They are lace rock from my LFS. I have a mixture of LR and lace rock.
