Thank you for posting the old cube video Collin I sure do miss seeing your sweet *** avatar floating around:bum:
 
Very Nice!
I am sure the new tank brought some excitement, it sure is nice to view your pics, could only imagine seeing this one in person :) Those colonies are massive and very colorful, outstanding work! Thanks for updating and sharing.
Regards,
 
After I was reading through Sahins tread I walked by my tank and found this on the floor. This is what I hate the most about fish and I bet it was my 4 dollar nightmare aka yellowtail damsel that caused it.:mad2:

Thank you Perry I just did have some excitement and my fish must love the new tank also they keep jumping for joy right out of the tank.
 
Beautiful!!! Love the whole thing. Quick question, thoes are not bubbles in your overflow tube are they?

Thank you very much and no bubbles in overflow tube I did a lot of research on the overflow boxes because this was my first. Number one make sure your pump is strong enough not to allow the bubbles to collect in tube :spin1:This will cause a flood. I went with the lifereef systems overflow because of great reviews and build quality.
 
New shots:bigeyes: I gave my pink lemonade a flat top and will move some of the big corals you see around on the bottom into my sump. I have my ai nano and will get a smaller skimmer for extra room

So much more space without the overflow in the center, I think you made a great choice with the tank upgrade, really digging the circular tank and scape...
The DIY upgrade on the ecotech powerhead was choice!
All in all, outstanding!!!

Awesome job there reeflover!:thumbsup:
Thanks guys and I would like some feed back please:idea:I just threw in a reeflux 10k lamp for a different look and I like it a lot. I haven't used a 10k since my first reef tank in 2003:eek2:Some corals don't look so great but the blues and yellows are outstanding bigeyes:First picture is 10k next is 14k aqua connect

I think your tank is looking great! I really like how unique it is, it's something you don't see everyday. I'd love to see a top down pic of the aquascape if possible. A few bright anthias would look awesome in there. Also, I think the 10k bulb looks really nice and crisp

The 10k is staying the fish look a lot better under this light and some anthias would look awesome as long as they stay underwater. Without the leds on it looks like bad word and the acans look blah :uhoh2:But when the MH goes of and leds on they will shine again.

Wow,
What a tough choice, under 10k, looks very bright in all areas of the tank, very little shading going on under that lamp. That said, I think it looks awesome, too many out there hiding imperfections under blue, lol... Your corals only look better, if that is at all possible :) I would be afraid to see my tank around the 10k mark, I need the blue, lol... One day I suppose, ha, ha... Tank almost has that bright zeovit look under 10k, which is what is preferred based on their original guidelines, I could be mistaken though, haven't read zeovit manual in some time, lol... Based on the pics I viewed, I think the depth perception and coral distinction is heightened under the 10k lamps. I really like it, though I am prone towards zeovit looking tanks.
Best,
