Real cloudy
 I'm sure somethings swimming in there  View from the bedroom  Again we are lucky enough to deal with a great LFS. Red Coral. Kevin opened the store up early for us so we could pick and choose through all his live rock till we came up with an over all shape and plan for our live rock set up. We probably went through 600-700 lbs to find the 130lbs that was right for us. We totally messed the floor of the store up building our desired shape, saved our new hardwood floors for sure. Again thank you very much Kevin Cheyanne and myself greatly appreciate that. So 130 live rock at home built and photographed ready to go in... but no its not that easy to recreate what you've built once inside the tank.  Even with pictures...  its way harder in the tank. By the way Kevin thanks for the beautiful live rock  Rock and water all in, the divider is up. The lighting we went with is a tek light 48" fixture with 8 bulbs. Looking from the kitchen towards the livingroom.  When the stand and hood are completed there will be a ledge all the way around the top edge of the stand to rest a drink on or whatever your fancy. The hood will be enclosed and the back against the wall will be enclosed. Here is the view looking from livingroom back towards kitchen  Our origional aquascape and the vortech and wavebox  Overflow a working  Sitting pretty. So the tank has been running since mid april  Tunze nano wavebox and vortech-mp20  Return lines going down either side of rock work  The flow splits  One of our caves

Cheyannes favorite crab
 Frag from fooser  Another frag from fooser, thanks alot  our Bicoloured Blenny peaking out  Maculiceps Tang  Our so called reef safe Oriental Sweetlips sold to us by another LFS with complete asurance that it was perfectly reef safe and easy to take care of. So far its been a great fish doesn't bother other fish but i do notice when i'm out looking at the tank in the middle of the night with my trusty flashlight that it is always patrolling all night long  Did some more aquascaping with a bit more new rock now we have a bridge between our 2 islands also some mushrooms and Sun Polyp coral  Clown Tang  Clown Fairy wrasse along with a Chalice from JDigital  Dark Red Mille from JDigital and its friend  Lime green Acro from JDigital.

You two have done an excellent job. Love the pics.
We have a couple of fish in the store that we can pet but none we can kiss. LOL. I have never known a Oriental Sweetlips to be reef safe but it's interest will be LESS likely on your corals than on all your invertebrates. Good Luck as you never know with each individual fishes characteristics. Cheers Kevin
