All I can say is WOW. The corals are looking better and better and the wall/cabinet cam together VERY nicely. You couldn't ask for it to look any better. Excellent.

Just read through the thread and it is very inspirational. I am going with Reeflux 10k's and VHO Super Actinics soon and was wondering if you could post a pic w/ all lights on so i could get a feel for the complete tank color when you get a chance. Thanks a lot and awsome job!!!

Your tank is really looking nice Brian. Looks like all the hard work is paying off!

I really like the woodwork and access from the front. Great job.

I'm glad I have access from the front too, my intial plans were to not have any access up front and that would have been a very large mistake

sorry for taking so long to get this shot for you. I really love the look of teh 10k's with the VHO actinics. This isn't the best photo but you get the idea

I finally plumbed in my 1/2hp chiller and one of my good friends TexasTodd who has an amazing SPS tank is getting out of the hobby for a while and he is going to sell me his 1hp so what you see below is only temporary lol

I also got some amazing coral from him:

Half of his OBT

whole thing, it was one rock but I broke it lol

Bad shot of Paletta's blue lovelli

Another piece

Sweet Pink and blue Milli

also got his really pretty urchin

 

[makoJ]

This octo-spawan makes me laugh it looks just like side show bob's hair on the Simpsons lol

Chips

 

[makoJ]

Tyree bali Tri-color

Don't know exact species but got it from Marcus (GMFett)

DG Nana

 

[jnarowe]

OK, that OBT is really sweet and I particularly enjoy the hole you made in the side of your house..."it takes an even stronger man..." :lol:

 

[Sparkss]

what type of urchin was that.. it is pretty wild looking
