I don't have any side shot the power heads are in the way. The tank is 4 years old this month. I would not worry about the corals being so close together mine do just fine.

I was wondering if you had plans for your skimmer It looks like it does a fantastic job! You had mentioned it was custom made...
Didi you make it or buy it custom made???

 

[Gondore]

What model of sensaphone are you using on your tank?

 

[Cheadlemeister]

What a beautiful tank! I thought your stand and canopy were especially well done. Do you happen to have more detail on the design of the canopy? It looks like it's double-hinged?

I did not make it. It was made here locally, it was one of the first small ones built and here is a thread on them....

Sorry I never did take any build pics, I'm really kicking myself for it now. At the moment I don't have any more pics of the canopy, it really just folds back on itself you can see a pic of it in the TOTM article. When I was building the stand and canopy I kinda just winged it no plans or nothing like that, if I had some I would send you some. Thanks for the kind words on the tank and stand.

Hi Emmett...Great Tank, Congratulations !! quick question on feeding your corals, can you shed some light on what and when do you feed ?
