Gooches tank 150g

Easier to see the pictures of the tank this way

the lights slide into a 2X4 support on each side. It sits 6 inches above the water surface.

my yellow watchman is getting brave, it used to only come out in the evening and would dart into it's cave if it saw us.

What drew him out was this orange spot diamond goby who cleaned my diatom covered, debris laden sand in one day. At first, I was concerned that the diamond goby would starve after cleaning my sand so quickly but I was happy to see it eating any food I put in the tank.

What's the PVC for under the fixture? Flow across the front?

I have 4 returns, one at each corner entering from the top for the closed loop powered by a dart and run with oceans motions 4 way. That is the PVC you see.
 
The clowns love the 4 bubble tip anemones that came on one rock

but ignore the blue long tentacle anemone which, by the way, decided to settle near the bubble tips. I don't know why it's tips are curled up. It ate well.

The minical is awesome. I haven't had to add anything but top off water since I got it 2 weeks ago. The blue on the far right is the phosphate reactor

Thanks! It is pretty blue but these may have been shot with just the actinics on. I haven't figured out the best way to photograph everything yet. The color never comes out the same.

Here is my full tank shot

The long tentacle anemone finally settled in with the foot deep in the sand so that only the tentacles show. One of the GBTA's split so I now have 5. The flatworms in my refugium that hitchhiked from the chaeto ended up in my display so I treated with flatworm exit. Subsequently did a 25 gallon water change. I'm exausted now but at least no more flatworms.
 
5 BTAs.. I hope mine stays more or less as one or two. That, or all my friends here will be up to their eyes in BTA clones =p

Good luck getting rid of the flatworms - I've been battling them in my 40g for years now =\
