Full Lenght

Orange Digi+

This is a rare species of ARM CORAL. I believe it is called a Christof-Armicus and it is an Acro. It is a little bleached but should color up with a little extra light.

Gigas & saddlebacks

You're easier going than I am Chris. After everything you've invested into your tank to get it where it is and then to see someone's arm in there that you didn't give permission to... I would be a little ticked myself. But, I've been called a jerk more than once in my life.

I think it was the guy picking out the Zoas/polys to Frag. I was ready to break out the scuba gear!

That's cool. By the way, Todd, sweet pics. You have inspired me to break out my 8 megapixel Canon and see what I can get it do.

Cliff, just make sure you set your white balance or your pics will not look like the tank. The white balance will make whatever your kelvin lighting is look white.

Very nice tank, I wish I would have made that meeting.

I pulled out my user's manual and found the WB feature. I never knew it was on the camera. It's amazing how such a small adjustment makes such a difference. Thanks, Todd!

So what kind of maintence do you have to do to keep the tank stabalized, any pictures of the filtration? When I do my 125 in a couple of years I want it to be like as hassle free as possible. But, now seeing a 600 I may have to sell and go bigger. LOL
