Well that sounds like a good idea but I thought maybe I could arrange the power heads a little differently so that the sand would not pile up.

This little acro I picked up at WWC but name is unknown. Any ideas on what it could be guys?
Armour of God zoanthids
Green star polyps
Here is a red center with blue acan. Can you see the little babies?
Picked-up at Aquamania where Luis over a year ago glued two different colors of blasto's together. Blue center w red and florescent green center with red.
This was actually my very first blastomussa wellsi coral. It has gone from three total heads to at least 15 heads.

Thanks stout! The pic does not even do it justice. The green is very pronounced with the sprinkled red dots.

You are so right! I love the depth and it has allowed me to add another dimension to the tank. Believe it or not the back has an opportunity as well.
The way the LR is set up it has some really good open spaces in the back. It has allowed me to place my largest corals in the middle and two back corners. A large leather that I don't want to get rid of and two branching frogspawns that so far have produce loads of babies that I keep fragging and giving away.
Another benefit is the room for the fish to swim and yet the last benefit is for the water flow which I hope keeps the tank completely dead zone free.
I'll post a pic of these sections so that you can see what I mean.
Thanks for viewing and following the ride!

Well guys its been a month and we are still a work in progress. I added 12 green chromis because I love the schooling thing. Its funny though because there were 7 in one cubical and 5 in another cubical at the LFS. They all hang out but at night the pack splits 7 on one side of the tank the other 5 in the back of the tank.
So far no ammonia spikes since the transfer. Did a wc last week and one week after the wc no off the chart parimeters.
I added a digital temp reader and notice that the actual temp in the daytime is 80.1, at night 79.1. The temp on the chiller cools the water down to 78 deg. like clock work. Interesting that the temp has a differential of 1 to 1 1/2 deg. I'll keep an eye out.
Aaptasia amemones!!! Nothing seems to work! Tried red sea, and other brands, they don't seem to work. So for this problem I added 10 pistol shrimps. So far three days and all five visable aa are still alive.
How long should I give them before going the copperband butterfly route?
Anyhow one of you guys said that since I was adding a lot of corals that I should post a FTS.
My white balance is still not measuring I feel correctly because it strips away most of the blue color from the tank and a 180g without a really true wideangle lense has its challenges.
Let me know what you guys think.

Thank you Ritten. I've been told that our systems are ever evolving and as the corals continue to grow so will the aquascape. I hope to keep as much of the current feel and look of it as my corals grow.
