Thanks for all the compliments guys, now I have to update the video for November's pics 
I'll include macro closeups this time of the fish and corals
Well, the first year pictures were taken with a point and shoot Olympus and I was using straight tap water and Kalkwasser as top off only, so growth was ok. Lights were Aqualine Buschke 10K's (13K on box) with 110w VHO
The 2005 pictures were taken with a Nikon D70S DSLR, and I switched my lights to 10K XM's and 220w VHO's, I started using RO/DI and bought a calcium reactor so the growth spurted.
November 2005 (or December 2005 I think) up until June 2006, I switched the lights to 6500K Iwasakis and stayed with the VHO's just to see if they really did make corals grow, and they did :lol:
The last pic was taken with my Nikon D200. The huge Cap and the Middle centerpiece corals were relocated to my friends' larger tanks.
I'm building my stand now for the new tank, you can see it here:

Initially, I let them grow out, but if they don't get thinned out on a regular basis they start fighting each other. I lost about 4-6 colonies that way already last year alone. On average of 10-12 corals hurt only 3 may survive depending on how bad the STN is.
My last fragging spree was in September/October 2006, hence the openness of the tank.

Oct2005 - Dec2005 = your corals really started to take off.
Nice video...
