I've been lurking around this forum for a while, and not contributing a whole ton... anyway, here is my 120 gallon tank that is SPS dominant, hope you enjoy.

Sick!
Give us some specs on the tank.

Thanks for the kind words. This tank was started roughly two years ago when transitioning over from a 55 gallon.

- 120 gallon three-sided starfire with external overflow (purchased used from another reefer locally)
- 40 gallon breeder sump including refug with DSB
- Eheim 1262 return
- Tunze 6105 x 2 on 7096 controller
- ASM G3 modded with recirc and mesh
- biopellets
- 48 cree royal blue led's, 4 x 54 w T5's in DIY hood. Just changed over to led's from 2 x 250 w MH's, corals are still adjusting.

Harem of 8 lyretail anthias, PBT, YT, cherub angel, blue-sided fairy wrasse, long nosed hawk, 8 threadfin cardinals. Cleaner shrimp and I think 1 green emerald crab kicking around.

Various corals, most SPS grown from frags or purchased from other reefers, one in particular has supplied me with the greatest number, who I owe a debt of gratitude to.

very nice. what is 6th picture from the top called?

I don't know what it is called. I bought it as a 1" $10 frag from a supplier here in Ontario as a "blue tabling acro". I thought it had died when I changed my tank over, but it hung in there... did nothing for over a year, and a few months ago suddenly it started growing like crazy.

Wow that's incredible. Thanks for sharing it with us.

No problem
 
Very nice looking tank. What t5 bulbs are you running? Were the pics taken with just the LEDs or with both t5 and LED?
 
Sick is right......Sooooo jealous right now... :)

Seriously though Jordan it looks awesome. Love the aquascape and the quality of the pictures is amazing.

When did you get the cardinals?
 
The colors are amazing, and you really have some nice colonies there. Great placement and selection of corals and fish! Hope I can get my next tank to look like that
 
Awesome tank. love the scape and how well spaced everything is. Looks like a lot of thought has been put into this setup. Well done!
