Thanks Jeff

And now for the SPS test, my good friends Tony & Martin where kind enough to give me a few pieces to test out the tank. So far everything is looking good & that is very exciting for me.

Thanks Colin, your welcome anytime.

Still looks so empty to me but getting the fish moved in soon will be better. Need to talk the wife into letting me do a big SPS order from Reef Wholesale soon to help fill it up. Would like to get a few Acro colonies as well as some milli's & digi's.

Got the back and the top of the canopy part on tonight, just have to do the front and the top & back of the very top of the stand, a few filler piece's and then move onto getting the 60 gal in place.

The setup looks great. I know when the corals grow it'll look spectacular. Good luck with that "patience" thing everyone keeps talking about with reefing.

Wish I had the space, time, energy & $$ to upgrade mine to a 300g display but that's just not in the works.

Looking forward for updates in the future.

Anthony

The plan was for minimal rock in this tank as I have 10 tangs going into it and want them to have lots of swim room.

Might add a few more pieces of rock yet but I need to get some more acrylic rod first.

Not really but I should have put it in my LED build thread. Simply put from left to right, black divers are for reds & greens, small silver drivers are for the high noon white's, first 2 large silver drivers are for the blues & last 2 large silver drivers are for the cool whites. Each row of LED's are controlled by the EVG boards, 2 rows of LED's per board all controlled by my Profilux 3ex controller.
