Looks great. I love the rockwork. How old is the tank? Some Coraline on the rocks and glass will spice it up.

 

[newtoreef_tank]

Thx It's about 3 months old.

Wow, that looks great. Its pretty impressive, Ive been in this hobby for a couple of years and your tank looks better than mine. Keep up the good work.

Man nice tank. I've had a reef in progress for over half a year and all I got is 4 corals of which two were the two 8$ from swf.com, ( they are still sweet corals and good practice ones).

Nice tank. I would add a black background to really make your colors pop. Looks great though!

Black would hide your overflow, and if you needed to add a heater, it would also hide that if you got the right one.

i added a black background today and i seem to like it better then no background it brings out the colors on everything more.

I'd go with black too. Like azfishgal said it will hide your sump and I think it looks better

Nice tank set-up. How long have you running the tank. Also what kind of live sand did you use for that is it the sugar fine or a bit bigger size than the sugar fine. The reason for that is that I don't know what kind of good sand to put when I set-up my 125g tank. I want live sand that is at least 3" deep and is suitable for the goby so that when they shift the sand it will pass thru easy without any injury.
Thanx

The tanks been set-up 4 about 3-4 months and the sand is small as sugar.
