Very Nice... Your reds are almost pink. Is that from ULN? Still looks great!
Have you had a chance to mix up the new salt and test it?

 

[InsaneClownFish]

Superb. In the "blue" pick are just all three Blue + running? You haven't changed your bulb configuration since the last time I checked?

Apologies, because I'm sure you've covered this before, but are you running and MP40 on both sides?

Looks great Sonny! I do the same idea when taking FTS's of my tank as it gives a little sweeter angle with more POP.

It really has! Wow, Its hard to tell how much things are growing unless you look at older pics. Look at this pic from when I setup the tank back in August 2008. Its been only a little more then a year!

Sunny What are you adding to ehance those reds and pinks?

Nothing special, just strategic positioning of the bulbs. I make sure that pinks are under white bulbs, and blue's under blue bulbs. It make a big difference. If I were to place a blue+ directly over my pink nest it would make it look purple.

The blue picture is 3 ATI Blue+'s running and the bulbs are still the same. I have an MP40w on the left side and a MP20 on the right.

Sonny, your tank is exactly what I imagine when think of a "shallow reef". Keep up the great work.

Stay tuned for my version of a rimless, shallow wave tank in 2010

Sunnyx your tank is a true inspiration. When I build my shallow reef I know who I'll contact. Thanks for all your help, you have been a real help to RC. I have been dosing your method and things are really turning around for the tank. Phosphates are finally down to .07 on Hannah.

Sonny - Looking AWESOME! Do you still have the Dendro in there too?

Loving the look, hopefully my mini-SunnyX set up will be there sometime

Depending on the conditions of the tank and lighting this mille can vary from lime green to yellow/peach to lemon lime/peach. Best way to describe it is lemon-lime peach Mille.

Here is an older pic where it was darker and more green/peach:
