Nice Tank!

Any chance you could add some tank specs etc.

Definitely a nice tank. +1 on specs and filtration.

Beautiful reef you have there. I also love the angels. How does your blueface behave?

Beautiful tank, that peppermint angel isn't yours is it? Can't wait to hear more on your tank. :thumbsup:

Thank a lot for compliments!

Tank dimension: 120x80x55 (in cm)

My lighting system is split in 3 groups of 4 bulbs (ATI) which are light on one by one and light off one by one. For the bulbs configuration, there is:

FRONT
ATI blue+
ATI blue+
ATI purple
ATI aquablue special
ATI actinic
ATI blue+
ATI blue+
ATI aquablue special
ATI blue+

(btw, I was under LED during the first year, the tank is under T5 lighting since Jannuary 2015). As it's time to change bulbs, I'm thinking about trying the Fauna Marin Ultra Blue bulbs. Someone has feedback on those?

About the filtration, the sump is fill with Deltec SC1455 Skimmer, a Deltec RAC PF501 and coal Reactor for bacteria. I dose some carbon with a mix of Vodka, vinegar and sugar (Secret recipe ) I also have a refugium with differents algae.

And obviously, this peppermint angel isn't mine indeed! But I already saw one in Germany, awesome fish!

About my blueface angel, he is pretty nice with others fishes, a bit territorial and a bit aggressive with my pygoplite diacanthus. But I can't have zoantids and acants in my tank, he will automatically eat them all, no problems with my SPS and few other LPS like dunka and lobos!
