Everything's looking great!!!! Really like those porites/acans on the last picture. You're lucky to be able to have the frogspawn next to the hammer, both of mine tried to kill each other in my tank when I had them nearby each other.

Gotta love digicams. :thumbsup:

Thanks..

I hvae an Oylympus C4000 that I have been using for about 3 years now.

I use the Current USA Outer Orbit fixture. Has 2 150watt 10,000k PowerPaq HQI Metal Halide(s), SunPaq Dual Actinics and Moon White Lunar Lights .

My skimmer is the Kent Nautilus EX. Which is rated for a 400 gallon, so it does great on my little 90 G. It's powered by a Mag 9.5.

just wonderful, the only thing I would suggest is somekind of background, I would suggest black because it brings out the color in the coral

Your right, I do need one, This tank has been up only 4 weeks. I forgot to paint it before I set it in place. I need to get the black vinyl. I am going now!

No I don't use a tripod. Just a steady hand!

Thanks

Was there a major change in light from your old tank to your new one? Also any major chemistry changes, like a new salt, ect...?

nice, i have the same tank w/ an overflow except my tank is a 75g. What is you favorite coral in there? Where do you get your corals? sry for the Q's, just want to get ideas. And do you like your 10000k, i've heard people say they are too yellow.

I would have to say the Hydnopora and the Millipora Acro's are my favorites. I grow candy canes like they are going out of style. It is hard to say my favorites. They all have a story behind them,

My Acanstraea is cool cause I called a dealer in LA and asked for one cause he didn't have on his website. So he called the divers in Tonga for me and they pick one. That is cool.

I like the 10K but have no experience with others. Thinking of 15K's but people are telling me they don't like them as much as 10K's

Living in Atlanta, I have the BEST LFS's anywhere other than CA. Man I can get anything. Also I belong to the Atlanta Reef Club and we trade and frag with each other all the time.

Like a I am picking up a beautiful big Blastomusa on Sunday because a girl is taking down her tank. That is the best way to get corals. JOIN a LOCAL CLUB and get to know the people in your area.
