Amazing! How long did it take you to establish this tank?

Tank actually took real quickly. The waterfall helped a ton. Livestock was in about a 1 month in, and the tank is 10 months old right now.

Love the tank. Just saw this thread and really a unique tank that looks amazing. Guess you only need some smoke coming out the top:thumbsup:

Well, it has been a very long time since I have updated anything. The main reason was because nothing had changed. Growth, coral fighting, and time had happened, but nothing warranting any updates. However, my visions of grandeur started to become painful, though I was not prepared to gut this tank and build the larger one I referred to way back. Not yet at least. As such, I modified the Volcano Tank to include a larger basin and my attempt was to further the "œrealism" of the set up. Now, the Volcano was a privilege to photograph, but in person, it was easy to see that it was a mixture of rock in an unnatural way, and I have fixed that. What is ironic, is it doesn't photograph as well, but in person looks more natural! Go figure!
Further still, I have not taken good pictures, and I suppose it is suicide to toss up pictures that don't meet the quality of the previous shots, but we are all reefers out here so we all know. There will be some die-off and it will take a couple of weeks to find the groove. Lastly, this is RIGHT after the change, so the water hasn't settled, some detritus is on the rocks, and the corals aren't out. So, no judgement calls on the photo shots or "œcleanliness," deal?!
Anyway, the basin is about a full 3-4" deep now, which is cool! Plus, underwater looks more natural as well....
Let me know your thoughts!
