Default The Coral Cube Redux (now with PICTURES!)

Someone asked me to send them some pics of my corals for comparison purposes and I realized... I haven't ever put a damn picture of my tank on here!

So, here it is in all it's glory... This tank was started a little over a year ago after making a swap from my old 40G that had sprung a leak. Unfortunately, during the swap I had a crash and lost all but a few frags and mini colonies. All the colonies you see below were grown from ~1" frags that I was able to rescue off the dying colonies, with the exception of the green milli, which had a head start at 3.5".

Some specs:
- 50 gallon cube (24"x24"x20") with a Beananimal overflow into a 15 gallon sump
- Vertex IN-100 skimmer
- Giesemann Inifiniti 250W halide with 4x24W T5's (KZ Super Blue)
- Tunze ATO tops off with kalkwasser
- VSV dosing + MB7 daily, which let's me...
- Overfeed the tank like crazy

Livestock:
- Waaaaaay too many corals
- Potter's Wrasse
- Randall's Anthias
- Coral Beauty
- Unidentified combtooth blenny (indian? chestnut?)

Forgive the iPhone FTS... I'll get a better pic one day
