Just for fun, here are a couple of micrographs I took of peppermint shrimp larvae in my tank tonight. I'm assuming they're peppermints, since those are the only shrimp I have in my tank.

Awesome build! I just read the whole thing. I love the tank, I am a huge fan of AGE also. Anything new going on in the tank lately? I am sure it has grown out a little!

What is the process you follow to move fish from the QT to the main tank?

It's been a while since I've updated the thread, so here's a video... not a tremendous amount of change, but the tank has been maturing, a few of the corals have grown out, and I've made a small handful of livestock additions.

I really liked the video but could you zoom in and show some close ups of everything as you scan along?

My DSLR doesn't autofocus while shooting video, which makes that tricky... I'll see if I can borrow a HD video camera sometime.

I have only made it to page 5 of the thread so far and your tank looks great.

I like the 2 sides. It looks cool when it's integrated in the wall, and especially when there is one side open. It's nice to see it from the side.

The skins are just held in place with magnets; they come off in five panels. I can easily remove them by myself in a couple of minutes.
