Love you rock work, Mike.
Tank is looking good.

Love this tank..very nice :biggrin:

Thanks!! I just have to get a bunch of clams and a whole bunch of florida rics to complete the tank. Maybe a couple pieces of SPS if I can find some smaller colonies.

Got some new additions from oceans -

- Smallest blue tang EVER! He is less than 1" gonna grow him until he's big enough to play with the big guys
- Yellow longnose butterfly (also very small)
- Tailspot Blenny
- Yellow clown goby
- 3 bicolor blackmouth chromis

They are all doing amazing! loving the tank so far, and everyone is getting along.

nice setup looks good.

awesome bro... just awesome!

are you just using your return as flow?

spray that fixture and the return lines black - nice and stealth. Put a Type-R logo on the light to up your PAR :D

Fixture and return lines are going black this weekend actually! Type-R badge should add the equivilent of 4-6 extra bulbs... so I'll be ballin in no time!!

I have the return, and a Koralia # 2 hidden inside the rock cave in the middle for flow.

tank looks great well done
