Thanks for all the kind comments!
I had a standard 120g which wasn't cutting it for me, so I DIY'd this tank and it has the ideal dimensions for me! (I do kinda wish I had gone a little higher, but I would probably hate the maintenance if it were)
The tank itself is about 8 months old, but all the pieces came from my last tank. All SPS (except 1) were grown from frags which were about 1 inch (some a little more some a little less)
It has an amazing green color. I believe it is A. Horrida (purple plasma)
That convexa is trying to take over my tank! I frag it very often.

Cool tank! I love the dementions. Perfect for that sps garden

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm working hard and spending a lot time/money to make this as beautiful as possible.
Equipment update: I had 6 koralias in this tank for flow, but since my tank is shallow (20" high), they were taking a lot of precious space and casting shadows on the corals near the edges of the rockwork. So I've "invested" on a mp40 for the right side of my tank (a 2nd for the left side will be added when budget permits), which in turns allows for more viewing room on the right side of the tank. That lead to me discovering the use of the aperture setting on my camera. Here's a side shot of my tank.
I've also tossed a few ugly corals that were crowding the sandbed to make more of an open look with the "sand lagoon" in the middle.
