Hi Brett,
Looking beautiful!!!!
Great job...
Looks like your reef has grown a pair of hands :D a blue one and a green one....coool :D
 
Nice looking system! Thanks for sharing the new photos and FTS as well.

Pics definately look alot better and the colors more true shooting without a flash. A tripod is pretty much a necessity for taking clear macros through the glass so I'd definately recommend picking one up.
 
Thanks stones, I still had to use a little flash cause everything was coming out really dark. Photography is always a work in progress for me but I'm getting better all time. I did get tripod a couple days ago, I haven't had a chance to use it much though.

Sweet tank, did you order it from a local supplier or from out of town? I have been contemplating going bigger but I really have know idea where to source the tanks and stands.

Thank you, I ordered the tank from Leemar through SEA. I built the steel stand and had a buddy face it with wood.
 
I also use the Wavy Seas now called Mocean's Wavemakers. If you want to eliminate tunzes you can put them on the end of a WavySea. Once they rotate you don't need so many because they get to all the dead spots so you wont be bouncing them off of each other. Or you can go really nutz and keep them all and still add the wavemakers. Although judging by this magnificant tank and very though out thread you probably knew that!

I have the adapters for the wavy seas but I think the 6105's would be a little too much for this purpose, sand would all over the place. I've wanted to test out a smaller Tunze pump on them for a while but just never had one to try. Honestly Im pretty happy with the flow with the 3 6105's and 1 MP40 provide and for now Im just gonna go with it. As corals grow out though, that could be a great addition.

Really nice tank, what is that white thing on the upper left conner? Cal. Reactor tube?

Thanks, That's the overflow box on that side, the tube sticking up is the emergency drain line. If water in the box gets high enough to plug the line that drain will become a full siphon and empty the box. ( I hope that makes sense)
