Awesome Tank. I like how you have the frag tank and the sump in your stand. Very sweet setup!

 

[klondike4001]

Thanks, I made a mistake when I first put it all together, the frag tank is too far to the right and I can't get the legs on the t5 fixture, so probably over Thanksgiving I'm going to drain and move it over so I can get the legs on the lights and finally get it the way I want it.

Plus a few new additions....
Acropora abrolhosensis

Radiant Wrasse

ORA Bellina (Not new, but coloring up very nicely)

Very nice , very neat, a complete compact system. NICE WORK !!

Very cool looking tank! I love the stand and the rock work. I have a Sailfin about the same size as yours in my 90. Do you know if the Radiant Wrasse is compatable with other reef-safe wrasses? I have a Melanarus currently?

 

[klondike4001]

I've got him in there w/ a Yellow coris, and marble and a 4 line w/o any problems, he doesn't bother anyone, probably one of the most docile fish I've ever owned.

How bout an update????? It's been awhile don't you think?

Very nice build btw, I really like your stand and canopy and how you have it so compact? Don't know if I missed it but what lighting are you running along with the T5's and also what are you running for your frag tank below?

Have you got any better shots of what you've got underneath?

Sure would like to see!
