You have an absolutely amazing tank, one of my favorites. Your lighting is picking up the colors on the coral so well. Are the picks up above with the T5 supplements or are they all the AI sol's? I have been looking at the AI Vega Color for my 34 gallon tank and if this is what I could expect I am sold.

I was sitting here 5m looking at those pictures, called my gf to come and take a look. She was sitting here 5m to see the pics. We both looked at each other and were totally speechless!

Awesome tank!
Tanks man I appreciate the feed back ;)

Thank you Michael, the pics were taken with out the T5's on. I suplement the T5's for only 3 hours a day.

You are welcome, and thank you for the info on the lighting. It just made a decision I was almost agonizing over much easier. Once again amazing job, the beauty of your tank is something I think we could all aspire to achieve. Happy Reefing!!!!!

Makes me wonder if having a deep sand bed really even is worth it. Looks like he barely has an inch. Do you even have sand in there?

That's what I was thinking. I do like the looks of a semi-deep sand bed when it's not having a diatom outbreak (which is almost never the case in my tank YET) but all I know about it from these pictures is:
YOU HAVE AN AMAZING BEAUTIFUL TANK MIKE!! :D

Beautiful Mike.

Can you list out your equipment? I know you have some good stuff!
 
Loved the aquascape before the corals were in........flicked through every page, which is unusual for me when looking first time at an ongoing chronicle. I normally get bored after 2 pages and skip a few at a time.

Does look a lovely display, although personally, I prefer sand.

Awesome inspiration for the overflow from the skimmer. Never seen that before, but what a great idea.
