Looking great. Im hoping to place the order for my 5'x4' soon.

What are your bulb temps and configuration? It almost looks like you have some red "spot lighting" in there.

For the closed loops on my upgrade(350 gal) I am going to be using 2 reeflo Darts.

I have seen (heard) the Dart in action and I run a Barracuda. The Dart is very quiet. The Barracuda is very loud and loves electricity. Don't misunderstand. I am happy with my Barracude and with Reeflo/Sequence but my equipment is outside so noise is not an issue. When I make some plumbing changes to my system, I am going to replace the Barracuda with the Dart.

cya,

Ted

The "red" looking area is a Reeflux 10K bulb. I am running 1 Reeflux 10K, 2 Reeflux 12Ks and a XM 20K.
 
Woow, a lot has happened since the last photo's :)

I see you have add fish. What species did you decide to put in?

See threads like these make me think CUBES are the way to go. I think aquascaping is just as important as the fish really and the cube lets you create little islands and valleys.
I check out the large reef forums cuz I know the aquascapes are usually better---
where's the link to check out cward's and Steve Weast's aquascapes?
 
That's awesome, looks like a Japanese reef!

Are you still running two skimmers, G4 & G5? How is that working out? Do you think two smaller skimmers works better for you than one large?

Please post a clear shot from the front and right sides, when you get a chance ;)

I am still running the 2 skimmers (G4 and G5). I throttled the G4 back quite a bit. I run the ozone through the G4 and clean out the cup once every 4 weeks. The G5 in running all out and I change the cup once every 3-4 days. The G5 is doing a killer job. I am VERY pleased with this skimmer.

I just got a new camera. I will take some more pics tonight and post em. Thanks to everyone for the nice compliments.

Your tank is looking awesome.

Thanks! I am going to try and pickup a zoom lens for my new camera on the way home tonight. Maybe I can get some better shots.
