Beautiful and filling in nicely. Very nice health elegance.

I'm jealous of your photography skills!

I love the mixture and placement of colors in your tank. Even the fish selection is colorful.

now that the tank is FULL i hope i can stop spending money

Silly Reefer...you are obviously mentally unstable, and in need of professional help...Call me and we can talk tank upgrades.:lol:

 

[Moebuis]

When a tank is considered "FULL", it's time to upgrade! I'd love to see that selection in a 75 or better yet, a 120.

thanks for the comments guys
ez and moebuis you arent helping the cause! for once im selling frags instead of buying them!
it sucks but i still live in apartments and until i settle down into a home i wont be able to upgrade i dont think?
It was hard enough to move my rsm this 40b is gonna be a PITA!!!
my dream would be a 4 or 5 foot wide 40b style tank with multiple islands and TONS of caves for lots of schooling fish to swim around
but until then heres my pride and joy! thanks again guys

 

[Moebuis]

I got ya. It's a beautiful tank and one that is a perfect example that you don't have to have a lot of high end ($$$) equipment to be successful. Your setup seems very simple and it works because you keep on top of it and thought everything through. Good work!

Heres a quick video so you can see more of the rock work and setup

moebuis i have to admit i spent months planning for this tank but the maintenace isnt as much as i thought i would be
i only have to do a 5 gallon wc every two weeks, empty the skimmer once every week or so and feed once a day
i dont dose or test for anything except for calcium
im really glad everything has seemed to reach an equilibrium and its not overly hard to the point where someone would get burnt out!

I love the zoas climbing the center of your left column.
