Hi,
For starters the corals and tank set up looks awesome.
What kind of lights are those?
Don't the hippos fight?..... I read one per tank and I'm not sure a 150g is large enough for two hippo tangs...I'm not the tang police and I'm no expert, I hope your not insulted I said something. My first SW tank was a room divider as well, you did a real good job on your design...It's not so easy to set up a tank with all the extras only on the little sides and nothing on the back.

Flower,
Thanks
No pun taken. The reason of me posting here is to get comments and advise as this is the way I learned what I know all now.
My advise to everyone is listen to everyone filter what you think is important and do whatever you feel is right. This is a hobby you can only learn by trail and error. No 2 tanks and or systems are alike or will react same to different things.
The lights are the 2nd generation Aqua Illumination which took me a lot of effort to get them imported into Thailand here.
No issues at all with my hippos as they were both added at a very young age (they were both about 1" tall) about 2 years ago now. They have gone both through a lot of errors made by me. Both have survived everything that a learning reefer can throw at them. Tank is large enough for several same species of fish though. Its a 165Gallon.

+1, 2, 3 and 4 I definitely like that you are not doing rock all against the back wall. Makes the tank have depth, very healthy tank. Sorry Joe you have you have competition on that landscape artist title.

Thank you.
My Yellow tang makes it hard for me to add any other kind of fish. Shows very aggressive towards any kind of new tank mate for the first few days.

The aquascaping and coral placement is really nice. The only thing that I'd keep an eye on would be the bubble coral so close to those beautiful clams.
I LOVE the placement of the two pink tube anemones. They look so natural.
Great pictures!
Thank you.
I had to put the bubble down. Half of it was heavily damaged as it used to be higher up and fell down a few months ago. Has since I placed it down recovered almost completly and more.
Clams dont seem to pay any attention to the bubbles so far.

Love the rock work, with one sweet tank. Also, how long have you had your AI fixtures in place? And what are your settings?
I just recently got it here.
