Nice tank! What is the fish on the bottom right of the 7th picture? Looks like a sort of Tang maybe?

Thanks all as far as the system goes it is a 96-36-30 tall acryilic tank as far as the equpment goes I run a Geo calcium reactor, it is bigger than a 618.



For a skimmer I run a H/S A250 as far as Im concerned it is the best money I have spent on my tank.



I hardly ever do water changes so the skimmer helps on that part. As for lighten I over drive XM 20K's on pfo hqi ballests in lumamax reflectors.

I run carbon and phosban in 2 Deltec fluidized bed reactors.

Tomrep that is a spotted rabbit fish.

Nick I had the pepperment Hog last time you where out if the panels where all the way clean you might have seen it.
I think where having a get togather over here next week if your not working.

Thanks Nook for coming over and giving me a hand .

Looks great! I didn't know the walls were see through! I thought it was an inconvenient look down tank.

OOOOh so that's what it looks like under there!! Great setup man! I personally liked the whole 2' X 1' window you scrapped out for me when I came over. It made me feel like I was in a submarine. Did you change anything around too? Not sure if it was the perspective I had, it looked like the rocks were closer.
