Hmmm Ya know that's the first time ive ever seen the back done white.
Look's pretty good though.

I would also try to hide the heater, run it horizontally along the bottom behind the rock maybe?

And why do you have the Aquaclear? What are you running in it? You could probably take it off, and that would clean up the look of the tank too.

Eeverything is looking really good, I like the aquascaping you have.

Maybe the seio could be hidden behind the rockwork a bit too.

If you want to stay skimmerless on this tank, you will have to keep on top of water changes.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I will try to reposition all the equipment so that it won't show as much. As for the Aquaclear, it's just there for carbon, nothing else.

Update: I woke up this morning to find the stressed half of the Torch coral eaten, leaving the skeleton only. I am now sure that whatever ate the coral was also the perp that knocked it over in the first place.

Any ideas on which little bugger did this?

It might not have been eaten, could be that it just bleached, leaving the skeleton. Which would be a water qualit / light issue.

If it was knocked over, a fish COULD do it, or crabs/snails.

You could have some nasty hitchhiker crabs too.
