Thanks all!
Im very happy with the way that everything is going with the tank. Upping the flow a little to help with dead spots now that the corals are growing.
I do really like the phoenix bulbs. nice change from the 10k Aqualines
paintballer, I got the wrasse and the foxface at Oceans Below in west palm.

Ive got to remember to check this photo forums every once in awhile...
Yes that is a yellow slimer, although under the Phoenix bulbs, Id almost call it a yellow/green slimer.
Zano, your 65 was one of my 65's inspirations.
My dream tank is for sure a 180 or 210 all SPS. With the bad real estate market, Im stuck in a town house much longer than I anticipated, so I dont have the room for a 6' wide tank.
The skimmer is a EuroReef RS100. It has truly made a big difference over the Coralife CSS 65 that I started with.
Culp, many of my first SPS I got for free or nearly free because I would trade in frags of xenia that had been growing like crazy.
Again, thanks all!! I will be checking the subforums more frequently.

New A. Efflo that should color up after the calcium crash that it survived at my LFS.

ORA Red Planet Acro - frag of a frag:

My favorite other acro - color and growth of this thing since I first got it has been amazing.

Gator, everything looks great. Hopefully your new peices do well for you as well. I like the Red planet. It is a coral that catches your eye for sure.
I am curious, what is your fish stock list? I have the stock list for my 50 breeder just about figured out, but since your 65 has the footprint your stock list may give me some ideas. TIA.

thanks cmaxwell.
I had a stone crab wipe out a bunch of my fish and was down to just 3 at one point. But I got rid of the crab over a month ago and slowly adding more to it.
My current stock list:
1.5"-2" Foxface
2x Onyx Clowns
Banghai Cardinal
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
Yellow "Coris" wrasse
I am looking to get some type of blenny, most likely a redlip blenny, because that what I had before.

Im 5 weeks into the Brightwell's Neo Zeo system. See my thread in the SPS forum for more info.
The coral colors are looking great right now and Im about to start additional additives (amino acids, vitamin C, etc.) soon so Im hoping the colors get even better.
Flasher wrasse disappeared so I am giving up on flasher wrasses. I found a small blue throat/jaw trigger a week ago. He's eating and is beautiful!
Updated shots!!
