hi wedgee. wow!!! nice looking tank. more packed than my tank b4 it crashed. :P

from ur pixs, some of the sps, esp some staghorns hv not reached their full color potentials yet. u might wanna give some considerations to some of the clams on the sandbed and the monti on the top right hand corner. might not be receiving enuff lights. another thing i noticed is that ur 2 returns r aiming direct at ur sps? i might be mistaken. did not noticed any wavemaking device in ur tank too. care to share?

but really a very beautiful tank. :bow:

juz me humble 2 cents. ;)

Thanx lightning, hope to see u make a comeback soon - i remember yr tank was a fantastic one too! Ya its squeezed to the brim now, partly cause i'm using T5s and cant lower the sps, so i gonna sell some of them away...

As for yr comments, the monti u talkin abt is the orange cap? I frag the dude often, so it doesnt affect the surrounding corals much, even tho it grows really fast...

The 2 returns on the right are from a SCWD hidden above, and the left one is from the sump return and is pointed diagonally, not harming anything...

Surprisingly, the 2 blue maxis on the rockwork are not fussy abt having T5 at all, and are keeping their coloration, but growing slower than the easier Squamosa on the rite...

Here's a closer pic of the clams

Thanx Vic, it took alot of hard work, and not forgetting 'supportive' bosses like u!

Mine is nothing compared to the pros with their 5 and 6ft tanks!

Realised i missed out my favorite purple monti digi...
