Thanks! It is my baby! The tank is a 55 with jbl lighting. Total of 220w, half actinic and the other half 10k daylight. Thanks again for the compliments :D :D

Geez guys, I am blushing! Thanks for the compliments.
I am still building the cleaner crew, but right now it consists of a Lawnmower blenny, Diamond goby, several assorted snails, 2 redleg hermits, 1 emerald crab, 1 CBS, 5 peppermint shrimp, 1 Green brittle star and some sort of unidentified slug or nudibranch.
I have a few more pictures, but I am just figuring out how to put them on here and the web in a viewable size. Definatly more to come!
Thanks again,
Cyn

looks nice ...pretty new, eh! Are you planning on covering that bare section on the back left, looks like the backing fell off! Looks very nice though, makes me wish I had a bigger tank :) Keep up the good work!

Very nice. I'd like to do that in a year or so. ($$$). Do you have a sump? My lfs told me that in order to sustain corals like that I'd need a sump. It would cost 4 or 5 hundred dollars for them to come drill and make one. Ouch! That and I'd have to drain the tank. Don't want to do that.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies.. I am working on moving stuff to get it out of sight, I am still pretty new at this so I am learning as I go. The heater was behind the rock, the lawnmower moved it... LOL I am looking into getting one of the boxes to put the pump for the backpac into so it will not be so obvious. As for the left side, I am looking for that 'perfect' rock to go there and then a few more corals. All I use to keep the algie off the glass is one of those magnetic scrapers about every other day. The back is starting to cover nicely now. NO SUMP or mechanical filter either. I would like to get a sump someday, but I have not done it yet. I have a connection to get some Lexan, so it is in the works now.
Thanks again you all! Now I know for sure that I am doing something right!
