First of all, that is an excellent image. I downloaded the larger one to enjoy the livestock better. Did you stich that image, or is that a single shot?
I know it is misleading, but it looks like one chromis is stuck in the center return locline.
You must have near perfect water parameters, as your tank really looks incredible. Let's sign you up for TOTM now. Or again... I can't remember if you got it before.
Great pictures. Can we have more please?

APorter & Art: Thank you both very much.
Bax: Thank you, also. The only other fish in my tank that might possibly go after them is the Sixline Wrasse but I don't believe this has been documented. Not to mention, he's a bit too large to get into the branches of SPS. The Pipefish definitely are "designed" for this. I currently have four in there and may add a few more.
Lunchbucket: Thanks for the kind words. As to your request for updates... I forgot to mention that one of my water-change tanks (Rubbermaid trash can) sprung a leak so I had to replace them. I did both because I went with a stronger 50-gallon gray Rubbermaid in the square shape with integrated hinged lids. Going this route has allowed me to increase my water-change capacity while still using the same footprint.
Marc: That full tank shot is three photos (left, center and right) stitched together in Photoshop. I've learned that moving the camera as far from the tank as possible and placed in the exact center on a tripod produces the best results. Alignment of the photos is closer at their edges so the software has to work less and the end result is almost completely undetectable.
I took that shot with the closed loops off for about an hour which helps to eliminate waterborne debris. In addition, I do run ozone which greatly adds to water clarification. That and a big 'ol skimmer, carbon, a filter sock and a canister filter.
Thanks for all the kind words and as per your request, here's some recent photos for your perusal. First up, a shot of one of the Pipefish I managed to take today.

And finally, an encrusting "something" that was a hitch-hiker and is growing like mad:
Joesph.. amazing pictures as always..:eek1: :eek2:
By the way, I see you decide to use penductors. How do you like them?? Currently I am running 4 on my 225g Reef (7'x26"x24") off of a Gen X and Panworld 200PX (similar to a Iwaki 70RLT).
The flow is amazing IMO.

Derek: Give me your address and I'll send you some.
vanburen: As Chris says. I even used the macro lens to get that full tank shot. A very versatile lens, it is.
Typhon: I like them very much. They allow me to send current from one end of the 8' tank to the other. I'm driving each with an Iwaki 55 on each of the closed loop circuits. The current is so great that any more and there would be a sand storm. In fact, I have to be very careful in how I aim them as it is. With the 15-minute overlap I have timed in on the two closed loops, there's not a single spot in the tank that doesn't get blasted. Glad you liked the photos.
Chris: Thanks... all around.
