brent takes great photo's,but i agree pics don't show the depth and uniqueness of this tank. one of the coolest tanks i've seen in person.

Looks like you know what your doing. Very nice. Why dont you have any sand on the bottom?

Looks good, what lighting are you using?

39g tank: one 150w HQI Phoenix with 2 supplement 24" T5s

150g: 3 250w HQI Phoenix with 2 160w VHOs

I've tried several different bulbs and found the Phoenix to produce the highest PAR for blue tinted bulbs. They also held their spectrum longer then most.

sand can be a nuisance and detritus/nitrate trap. I do like the look of sand in displays though. At the time my original tank sprung a leak so I just tossed everything in to the new replacement tank (seen in photos), just didn't bother with the sand. You'll find a lot of SPS tanks that have Bare Bottoms, which is what they call it.
