Great Tank! Love the pictures keep them coming!

great pics! You have some serious "no-no" fish in that reef! I love the vlamingis too. They get totally huge as I am sure you know.

The CBB looks really good and healthy. Great job!

Are you sure that's a pavona and not a rugosa? I have one and I am not sure which it is, but it's PE is like super bright green hair.

So are your lights a bit red or is that because of white balance issue?

Your tank is really fun. Even though my tank is in-wall, I have no back on it so I can se right through it. I still haven't decided what I am going to do about it, but it is fun to watch visitors' faces as they focus beyond the tank and see the equipment.

Yup I know and I will give them a good home till they get too big besides can't tell my wife no, I've tried it just doesn't work lol

He eats everything,frozen, aptasia(sp) and nips a little but I don't mind love the fish.

Don't know it doesn't have super long PE but its tissue resembles pavona doesn't look like one in growth so I have no idea? its really good looking under actinics

So are your lights a bit red or is that because of white balance issue?

Yes they are old reeflux 10k's I'm ordering new bulbs I don't know why they are pinkish colored?

I'm going to use black acylic panels just haven't bought them yet. I don't mind not having panels but it does look better when its got a back on it I tested it out with a piece of cardboard.

Progress on the wall started today YEA!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait until the wall is finalized and hopefully in a short while it will be done.

Before

Framing starts

Where the door will go

My ballasts on the wall

Everything is on X10 controllers and hooked up to my ACII

Back room wall with ACII and Tunze Multicontroller

Another look at how I'm trying to deal with all the cords

I still have lots of little things to do, I ordered some EVC 10K bulbs hoping that they will make me happy.

I ordered the wrong exhaust fan so I have to order another one tomorrow I have my Temp/humidity controller and I still waiting on my fan which will plug into it also.

That's all the pictures for now, thanks for checking them out
