Looks awesome Robert!

I like the way you did your lighting... I may have to get some better reflectors for my PC bulbs... the brushed aluminum in my canopy makes the output too diffuse...

Once again, awesome work!

Thanx Craig Woodstock & David !

I don't have the tower of PH's like you david but I seem to be getting plenty of flow by spreading the rockwork around so hopefully there won't be any dead spots. Now it's time to start adding some Livestock

It's the coralvue 12k 250w. The color looks much better then I can capture in a pic unfortunately.

Thanx for the kind words everyone

I had to add some loc-line to the output because I was just getting way too much flow towards the front of the tank and sand was blowing everywhere.

It's looking great. I like the open aquascaping.

PS....that pic of the clown and frogspawn is very nice.

Thanx Curt

I was planning on adding an additional 20lbs of rock so the open look may not last but I like it. I'm running into some real heat issues I have to leave the canopy partially open. May have to run some more fans.
