Hey Kyle
I'm very impressed by the pictures I saw while looking through this thread! One thing I didnt understand is how you manage to create the waterflow over the stones. Do you use the normal return pump from the sump? That'd be to much flow I guess or do you use a seperate pump for that?
I'll be seriously considering some design ideas I got from this tank in my next tank

This hasn't got TOTM yet?
The tank is gorgeous and incredibly well designed, but isn't the crab featured in the photos a predator, Sam, a predator. (Cue the Quincy M.E. theme, puh-lease.) The tank looks to me like an all-you-can-eat buffet for the crab. Check out the photo of the crab eating a clown goby soon after the fish was added to the tank and another photo of it chomping down on a substantial chunk of shrimp. Is the post about getting rid of the tangs on 4/30/11 attributable to the Son-of-Crab? Also, the early photos showed a wall of feather dusters which are conspicuously absent from later photos and there seem to be several other corals MIA as the photos progress. Check out the photos of Pachygrapsu crassipes in this article:

Note that it is about the size of an adult male's hand, and tell me you'd be comfortable having one of these in your reef tank. I'm just saying. And by saying that I have absolved myself of all responsibility for the prior portion of the post. Ask Dom Irrera. (We play by Philly rules in Staten Island.)
If I'm wrong, and I usually am, why has this tank not been selected for TOTM?
