The aquascaping looks great! It will look even better when the rocks purple up. I like that you didn't place the focal point in the center. This gives the tank a natural look. I currently have a 300 g display tank with mostly tangs. IMO they keep my reef crystal clean. I noticed that you will be placing angle fish in your tank, are you concerned that they will destroy your SPS and inverts? I have noticed a lot of tanks on RC doing the same. I would love to add a regal to my tank but can't find any literature to support this. Great job can't wait to see it when its stocked with coral!!

Angels are always a gamble when you have a reef tank but I wouldn't have a tank without them. Usually if you keep them well feed they are less apt to nip at your corals.
 
Four Bartlett's Anthias added to quarantine. Everything else is in the main tank and doing great.

Dude,, went through all of your posts, all I can say is wow!, what the!, awesome!, very nice job!. The way you planned your system is definately top knotch. Everything is so well put together. The pics you posted are sure going to be a great help when I get ready to set up again, good tips. I took down a 180 reef in 96 and ready to do it again, it's just so many techniques have changed. Lots of researching again. Awesome house also from what you posted. Here's my reef system if you get a chance to view it.

Thanks, looks like you had a very nice tank. The hardest part about starting over is patience. It's all I can do to not fill my tank with SPS but I'm trying to take it slow.

Thanks Steve, and I know what you mean about being patient, especially when you know what the outcome could or will be. We use to put our kids in the swing infront of the tank, it would mesmerize them, and me. lol. Have a great rest of the week.

I ordered them from US Plastics. The shipping was a little expensive but otherwise I thought they were a good bargain. Give them plenty of lead time from when you need them. They are made to order. Very happy with the way they turned out. If you get out this way give me a shout and stop by.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Here is a front and side view of the tank so you can see how it's coming along. I have 10 fish in the tank so far and it still looks empty... LOL.

Steve, things are looking great. Can not wait till you get some color on those rock. Did you purchase your cleanup crew locally?
 
Coming along nicely! I'm sure in time this display will be a focal point of your home. Keep up the good work and keep us updated!
