Nice!
Four clowns? How do they all get along? Are there 2 pairs?

How deep is that sand bed? It appears quite deep on the right side. Any problems?

Outstanding display Alan. Full, thriving colony's with minimal frags. Gorgeous. What are you feeding your clowns?

Beautiful tank!!!! The corals look huge and mature! I always love the reef tanks where you no longer see the live rock. Now... please give me the secret of how you are keeping your glass so clean looking with just that little mag float in your pic. My coraline algae seems to laugh at me every time I rub my mag float across it.
What kind of skimmer are you using? What is hour husbandry schedule? How are you on water changes and how diligent? With 2 250MH are you using chiller? Do you have heat issues? Sorry for all the questions just a beautiful tank that I strive for mine to be like.

Thanks for the nice comments. I just use the mag cleaner on the glass, and a kent scraper. The Kent is used about once a month, other wise its the Mag. It should be noted that my tank sprung a leak, and it was replaced with another 75rr about six months ago, so the glass is not three years old. Sean at Emerald Bay really came thru for me on that deal. Nothing worse than a slow leak!!!!!
That is a Candycane under the Cap, above is a Pink Pocillopora. On the sand to the right of the Candycane is a Galaxea and to the left of the candycane is an encrusting LPS that resembles button polyps, but is all one coral instead of individuals. In the back left side is a Devils Hand.
All of the Corals started out as either frags,specimens near death (a good friend at a local fish store passes on corals that need some tlc), or as small specimens. The only exception is the Pink Pocillopora, came to me about half its size now, but it was still very large. Fishdoc was the source for that coral. Most of the SPS in my tank came from Fishdoc, and the rest from Emerald Bay.

He must scrape the back wall as well. Man, that is clean!
Skimmer is a Aqua C Urchin Std. hooked up to a Mag 7. I do water changes every 2 weeks. I have auto-topoff for evaporated water, and that water is saturated Kalkwasser. I do 2 part dosing (homemade brew) using a medical pump.
I have a small chiller, and run the tank at 74 degrees. Without the chiller it runs at about 80. I run the chiller as a safeguard if the air goes out in the summer ( it has happened to me twice, once before the chiller and once after).
