240 SPS build

[New Wave]

ultimately... i ended up adding led's... i want to stick with 12k lighting.. so a total of (2) 36" and (2) 48" reefbrite led's are mounted on the front and back of the hood to help with the overall look of the aquarium

 

[New Wave]

and this why we do it..

 

[New Wave]

im a long way from finished... ive got the meat and potato's... and at this point its fine tuning... a long wat to go still.. so PLEASE...

Good one bill. Lol last one.

Tank and fishroom look like a work of art. Any thoughts on showing off your masterpiece to the club and host a meeting. Sorry if this put you on the spot.

[New Wave]

Thank you Brandon! I'm gonna be adding more photos and maybe a video here soon so you can see the coral... It's pretty young, but it's got some cool stuff

 

[New Wave]

so... the inhabitants...
montipora capricornus... im not even going to pretend to know how to spell all of these
and the Achillies tang in the back... theres a cool little tyree leather in the bottom corner...
its not completely "sps"..... YET

 

[zef004]

I like how you got the 3 colors stacked with those caps.:beer:

 

[ameares8]

I always like to see the caps mixed up in a rainbow of colors. I tried to grow my purple and orange together, but the purple is grows four times faster, so it is a little one sided. Looking good Mel, keep the pictures coming.

 

[New Wave]

thank ya so here is a couple more... ive got some younger and some more mature coral.. for those of you who dont know... i cheated a little ... i bought most of these from one of our fellow hobbiests.... when he decided to break down his "first" last aquarium... aint that right bill? :thumbsup:

naso... hangin out in the back...
