wanted to show off my little reef and get some opinions on what everyone thinks.

That's cute! It is a mini reef. Very nice.

Only suggestion I'd have would be to put something on the back of the tank. Makes a reef of any size look a little nicer.

i keep planning a background but im one of those people that as soon as i put it on i will be pulling it back off so that i can see back there. i want a tank i can view from all four sides so bad i cant stand it. one thing i am changing is im getting two returns and a pick-up blown from clear glass and will be running them on an ehiem 2217 with scwd. thanks again

IMO, I wouldn't put up a background, it'll look twice as small. It looks really nice, my only suggestion might be to try and hide the heater, maybe down on the sandbed?

thats actually the spray bar you see in the top. it will be replaced with clear glass soon enough. that is one sore spot for me too since everything else is very clean looking. also im having a nice little stand and hood made for it that i will be putting my 175mh into at some point. i hope to do a small refugium in the stand as well that i will put my old cpr skimmer on.
