thanks, dont you just love the new stealth tank technology. i will figure out how to post some good pic's have to go to work in a hour so dont want to get into that right now, maybe tommarrow night. the rock work came out really nice, my friends always want me to do there rock work. i do love creating it, sometimes, most of the time. the hardest part was building it so none of the rock touched the back of the tank wall and left enough room to be able get those long handle algae scrapers to every area. now i have a good hand width all the way to the bottom along the sides and back of the rock work. more in the front of course.

the lowdown on the tank;
the rock i am using has been in a tank for just over a year, curing. the water was kept at perfect parameters for any reef. the tank is full of pods and such. the sand is new though. i moved a couple of the corals i had in another tank, i am taking down, into this one. just wanted post some pics before i started to stock it.

tank:72X18X20 (120ish gal) with about 150lbs LR
sump: 45gal long/refugium(20X12) with cheato under 2X36watt pc's
skimmer: ASM G3- "this bad boy rocks"
chiller: jbj arctica 1/4hp-a sweet chiller
sump return pump is a sedra 1200gph, plumbed through chiller then tank. getting about 600gph through sump/refugium.
hardware: tunze streamer 6000 with singal controller, 3 maxijet 900's on wave maker, have heater(a good one) but forgot the name to lazy to go look. pinpoint ph monitor
auto top off via typhoon 3 RO/DI system.
lighting: 6X80watt T5's with tek reflectors running on 2 660 icecap ballast.
will be getting a Ca reactor later after my stocking leaves are up.
tankmates: bunch of different snails. 2 percula clowns and a yellow watchman. couple corals, red open brain, met green brain, candy cane. thats it for now, the leather you see in the pic is gone. most future corals will be sps. some clams and mabe couple more lps towards the bottom. will post some more pic's soon as i can figure it out. the sump and all that. in about 2 weeks i will add about 11 1" sps frags.
