Dingo's tank

Well, you asked for pics, so now you have to live with the consequences.

This tank has only been running for around 6 months, so it isn't as mature as some of the others that popped in here today. I recently upgraded from 96WPC to MH, so most of my sps frags are still brown from the old lights. I already see signs of new coloration, and it will be interesting to see how things turn out.

Specs:

10g AGA
10 ish lbs LR
250W PFO SE MH (If you know what that means, you should apply for a government job)
Icecap ballast
50W heater (Needs to be larger)
AC 300 HOB for charcoal when needed and circulation; Powersweep Powerhead

Livestock:
unidentified Acro
Monti Cap
Purple Tipped Monti (just recovering from brown)
Pink Pocillopora (now brown)
Green Hydnophora
Orange Fungia (Species in dispute)
Frogspawn
CandyCane
GSP
Pedro the Thoroughbred Mexican Turbo
Emerald crab
2 scarlet hermits
Mysterious elusive HH crab
237 Stromatella snails

Here is the tank with hood:

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
