240+g tank project

Here is a picture of the red millepora that is on the lower left of the tank picture. I bought the millepora from Phishy Business a couple months or so ago.

I think Steve's tank is my favorite reef tank, and the valley seemed like a good idea to show the depth. I just wanted a tank that would allow the corals to grow large without crowding each other. I also thought it was important to leave a lot of room for the corals to grow in height.
Thanks for the compliments, and I will try to post some pictures of the equipment room this weekend.
 
upkeep???

upkeep???

first of all AWSOME tank!!!!! I am new to the hobby and am trying to get as much info as possible...I have been reading up on the different bottoms and see you did a shallow bed of sand...Here goes probably a stupid question :):) Do you treat this like the deep sand bed and not disturb it?? Or do you clean it and how if so...

Again...awsome tank and I can only hope mine would look that good one day...

I went over to Chris's today to pick up my CA Reactor (Thank Geo)... I saw this tank in person and it is VERY NICE... I love the depth, I can't wait until I get my 92x48 complete :)

Thank you very much. I siphon out the detritus in the sand bed when I do my water changes, which is 50g every two weeks. It also help's having a blue cheek goby to keep the sand bed clean, and I'm looking for a 2nd to add to the tank.
 
I saw a flame in there a few pages back, i heard horror stories of them. Has it picked at your sps?
 
At first it did, but after a week or so it stopped picking at the corals and started eating fish food.
 
Wow this is a fish I have wanted and that sounds promising. How long have you had it?
 
I've had it about 6 months or so. Lincutis actually gave me the flame angel and a sailfin tang both.
 
Jumping aboard for updates....the tank I told you about in my PM will be 8' long, 6' wide and 3' tall with an open rock structure such as yours. A lot of people woun't want to mess with the 36" height but as you stated earlier, having the room for upward growth will be worth it IMO...Looking forward to updates!
