Thanks for looking, comments/ feedback are welcome.
 
what lighting are u using? its personal preference but I would increase the beauty of the tank by scraping the glass, otherwise its beautiful
 
Looks great. What's coming off the overflow, a red planet?

I agree about scraping the glass. (I should talk, mine is pretty bad too.)
If you scrape the back panel about 8 inches down from the top it will show much better.

Hi chessmanmark, I think i'm gonna scrape the glass. I kinda like the coraline but maybe thats why I never really get more than a few comments when I post pics. As far as the coral growing on the overflow, didn't come from ORA I actually had for about a year before they came out with it. I got it from a local club member who got it from another club member that bought it as a wild caught coral years ago. If you grow them side by side you couldn't tell the difference. We actually had a few club members do this for a comparison.
 
This is a beautiful reef tank. I personally like coralline algae. In person probably looks much better: so I don't mind the coralline algae.

Look forward to more photos. :)

Nice tank! I like the top down pic of the caps. Nice colors. How did you get the acro to stay on the overflow until it started to encrust? I might have to try that to cover up the ugly overflows.

Thanks Finland, I like the contrast between the green, purple and drk. orange/red. As far as the coral on the overflow I used to have a colony on a rock next to it and it grew onto it and attached. Here's a pic of it..

. I've been cutting frags off of it for months now cause it's growing real fast and starts shading the corals below it.
