[Mscott203]

Hi everyone
Well, I just thought Id post a few pics as things have been up and running for about a year now. We finally added our last piece of equipment for a while - metal halide lighting - and pictures look better than they have before. So.. thought I'd share. Please, comments and suggestions would be awesome.
125g mixed reef

All seems to be stable and healthy for the first time since beginning.

couple more recent shots just for fun.
had some trouble lately - lost a couple stalks of zenia and our powder brown tang to ich last week. Weve had some temp fluctuations and our heater fell into the tank and some corrosion from inside the heater probably got into the water. that was a pain seeing things deteriorate but a water change and some time seemed to cure those critters that lived and all seems well now.
