Thanks for the comments.
Mel,
you are correct about the end "bar". It was used to hide the plumbing from my OM 4 way that enters the end of the tank. There are some pictures of that plumbing somewhere else on this thread. But it does make a nice little "bar" to rest a drink on as you stare down the lenght of the tank, which I often do as it gives it a whole different perspective. Just hard to take a picture of.
So far, no really big heat issues. I've got a fan blowing across the top of the tank when the temp gets up to about 80 but the highest I've seen the temp has only been 82. No chiller on there. It dosen't get really hot out here though. 80 is a hot day for us unless the Santa Ana winds are blowing and then it gets hotter.
I have some of my plumbing outside so it cools down at night fairly quick. I'm going to also install a couple of vent fans behind the tank to help with any heat. Just haven't gotten there yet. AS for the windows, they all face south so yes, I get a lot of light on the tank which is nice.
Matt,
I love my pink tail. I got him with the tank and he's been great in there. I think he's pushing 4 years old now. He dosen't bother a thing once it's in the tank. If I drop snails in, then he thinks it's food and will try to eat them. So if I add in snails, I usually drop them in behind the rocks and all is good.
stunreefer,
That would be my Male Naso. They are both pushing about 5 years old now. His streamers are almost 3" long and he is about 13"long I'm guessing. The Toadstool that you see in some of the pics is 15" across as I measured it so you can use that as a refference measurment. He's an awsome fish and one of my all time favorites. Actually I think I have all of my all time favorite fish that I've always wanted since I got my first SW tank back in the 70's in this tank, Naso's, Coral Beauty Angel, Majestic Angle and Moorish Idol. I'm starting to like a few more that are in there now like the pink tail, gold flake angle and red corris wrasse.
