Thanks for taking time to stop by and leave compliments. I wish it were possible for you to se the true size of the tank.....pictures really give the impression of size at all.
Bill:
Yes he does. I am surprised no one has commented on the fact that one coral in one picture looks like nudibranchs are eating it.
It is this picture:
the brownish plate on the right hand side is a porites I believe. He sometimes scrapes his teeth on that. Not enough to kill it, but enough to gouge it. He is though, stunning. The markings on his face really stand out in real life, but I didnt really manage to capture them by camera. The damage to the coral I can forgive.
Reefs:
I managed to get one of the first runs of that skimmer and I love it. As for true rating, I have no idea....but 600g seems a good start.
Thanks all,
Paul.

This is a mini video of the tank just after installing the last two pillars. Its not great quality and is blue since I can color correct the original. It does however give a feel for the 3d layout of the pillars and the coral placement.
at the time I was running MH across the back and the fron LHS, T5s on the RHS.

Flounderfish:
here you go:
Pics of the fishroom....or my garage as it used to be called.
There are now lights suspended over the refugium and there is a large roll of chaeto/caulerpa rolling in the flow from the spray bar.
At a later date a frag tank will be installed over the top of the refugium (2 feet above it) and a shelf placed over the main sump for storage and stuff.
The refugium is fed from the bracuda pump (it splits off of a manifold I made) before the water flows into the main tank (via the chiller).
Does that help ?
