Oh man, if I can, YOU can.
Thanks for the nice comment...I've spent a lot of headaches on the tank and it isn't done by a long shot.

Nice tank.
Do you have sand and live plants
in the prefilter?
What do they for your tank?
I thought the water would be
moving too fast through there.
Can you post some more pics.?

Norbert,
I have green calupera in my sump...and the refugium and shaving brush you see in the tank.
Have the plants been working? I don't know. I had never done plants before, just thought I'd try them and see what happened. My pod population has exploded thanks to that refugium, though... The plants haven't been there that long. Maybe a month.
Keep in mind, it's only just started to really come together. It's a work in progress.

It's a 75E...it started out as a FOWLR, but then I added a coral...and another coral...and another coral...and the next I knew I had committed to it.

Wow thanks everyone for saying such nice things about my tank! It really makes me feel good because I've been slaving over the tank since I made the big leap to corals!
As for lighting: I have a 220PC ballast with (4) 7100 daylight bulbs and one 40w coralife actinic bulb in a regular T-12 ballast.
