Looks beautiful!!!! What is the fish in middle of the first pic? FTS PLEASE!

That would be a small Sohal I have had for over a year now.

The tank is in need of some more corals. My LFS is getting some more corals next Monday so I will add some then. Plus the corals got pretty beat up during the transfer. I also have not hid all of the tunzes yet. Two of them are hidden while 3 are still visible.

Not the best looking tank at the moment but here we go with a couple FTS:

Go easy on me

Go easy on you, are you kidding. No one should have a tank look that good that quick. I am sure it will be another masterpiece after you get done with it.

Iwould not change a thing

 

[CeeGee]

already looking great. I didn't have any questions about that though.

the aqua scape looks wonderful.
anyway to hide the white pvc sticking up outa the overflow?
interesting to see how the total transfer startup is gonna work out with all the variables involved.

Very nice build. Thanks for posting pictures of your lighting fixture. Pics of the constilation are difficult to come by.

once those corals fill in more space this is going to be one sick tank. very clean, great job on the build.

Looks really nice. Sucks how gorgeous corals brown out when you move tanks, but youll be amazed how quick they color back up under the T5s. What photoperiod are you using? I accidentally bleached some of mine running the T5s for 10 hours - I completely underestimated them.

I am actually having the same issue now with some bleaching. Corals that i had directly under 400W XM10ks are now bleaching under T5. Im gonna cut back my lighting to 5-6hrs and move up from there.

Other then the minor bleaching I love T5's.

The white pvc is temporary until my black PVC comes in this week.

Hello,

The pro color seems to highlight the tips of many corals quite well. Currently I do not have it in the fixture. I am running 3 Blue+ and 4 Aquablue Special

 

[143gadgets]

Looks stunning! I love the aquascape. Tons of potential.

Thank you.

After a year and some more coral additions the tank is going to be another contender.

Most of my pics are blue but this pic is the best representation of the color:

You went with the anenome, huh? Hopefully it stays put. It looks great, good job.

Question: You used the water from a previous setup, right?
