Some new sticks:

Pink shortcake

Blue lagoon (I think that it's some kind of echinata)

Green gem

Yesterday I finally get my AI support fixed.
Made for my previous setup, it has a lot of flaws, and demands a lot of improvisation.

This time I choose to put a flat panel fixed in the support. This allowed me to precisely tune the position of each fixture.
The power blocks are now up in this panel, so all the wires are hidden.
The bigger space between the support and the fixture will provide more air flow and a better cooling of the fixtures.

Besides all that, I think it looks more clean now.

Next step is to put 2 more fixtures, totaling 10 instead the actual 8.
The places are already defined. They will be in the back, over the big island, and I intend to fill up some dark spaces.
I think it'll be just fine.

Very cool look.

 

[Darth_Tater]

Looks good!

 

[JonCubb]

Love this. Perfect rock work imo.

Thanks to all....

Today I put 2 Vegas to fill up the empty spaces....
In the photo is hard to tell, but it made a big difference.
Here how it looks now:

Some reescape.....

Due to the previous position of one of my Hydras, my Red Planet was growing towards 2 other acros, to the oposite direction that I intend inittially, when I glued it in that place...(obviouslly............................)

Today I cut it down in 3 pieces, reglued 2 of them, and the third one must find another reef to stay......
I am very satisfied with the result.....and now, with the fixture hanged in another position, over the cliff, I think the coral will follow the light and grow to the right from now on....(or...I expected it, at least.........)

This tank is amazing! I love the dimensions. Perfect.

I had several gobies in my previous setups, but one still was only a desire: the Hi fin red banded.
Last month I finally found one in a store, and despite of my will of not to put gobies in this setup besides the Golden Head, I bought it.

Every WC I clean up the back panel glass to remove the algae that grows in it.
15 days ago I didn't due some eggs laid all over the panel.
Yesterday I found the "owners" of that eggs, spawning again:

Nice Alex, the tank is looking really good!

 

[DiscusHeckel]

I agree with Matt. It must be really relaxing to look at your tank when you come home from work. I think the way your light units are hung is a state of the art.

 

[Alex Costa]

Thanks Matt and Bulent.

The tank is in a good shape right now.....The corals start to show the colors that they might to show...they're growing well....the fishes are happy....and I can fix some issues in the system.
