Default Red Coral Lethbridge's Display Tank Build

Just figured we'd move our build thread to Canreef. Hope some of you don't mind tagging along.

Here is what we have:
Tank: 110 gallon starphire custom tank with black silicone, black Lexan overflow and black vinyl covering the back wall.
Skimmer: Vertex IN-180 in sump skimmer
Light: 3' Vertex Illumina 200 LED fixture
Return pump: Eheim 1262
Powerheads: 1 MP 40, 1 K4
Sand: about 1" of CaribSea Aragonite Seaflor special
Live rock: Combination of Jakarta live rock and dry Marco rock

Don't have any pics from when the tank was empty but here is the series of pics of when we opened the Vertex Illumina...

Fancy...and surprisingly heavy!


This is one panel...the LED's are way smaller than I expected...


Comes with the hanging kit


Looking good

It's mainly an SPS tank, here are some of the inhabitants when we first put them in:


Right side



Red and green favia...all the pictures turn out really blue without the flash on...


Sunset monti colony...the colours need to brighten up still...


Green stylo


Blue acro with green undertones


This fella will end up being teal!


Aussi acro...purplish hues


Pink pocci with greenish undertones starting to show





Monastrea






Love this green plate...



Unknown pocci that came in just as a itty bitty knob...and look at it now!






A few new frags and Mr. Bluethroat...(taken with flash with moonlight on)

This pocci started off all pink, now it has a completely pink base with green polyps...awesome!
