Hey Larry,
It looks great! Do you have the 2 vortechs in there? It seems like great water movement. Do you have the new wireless wave driver? It looks like there is a wave in the video. It looks great! Can't wait to see more pictures. I've been waiting and looking forward too it! =) What fish did you get?

No wireless drivers yet. I plan on getting them though. Both vortechs are on in the videos. The wave action is over exaggerated since the water level is low. They were running at full speed so that is what 6000gph looks like in a 120. I have a pair of black percs and a tiny bristletooth tang waiting for me to get this running. I bought 140# of marco rock. 100# was fiji and 40# was tonga shelf. I ended up building my structures with 30# of tonga and about 70# of the Fiji.

congrats on the 1.5k you have been here a long time....

the wave in your tank looks good ( i still dont get how you got it to do that without the WWD, ive had a single vortech kicking a wave in my tank for a couple months now I love the wave action and so do the coral and fish.

since the rock was cooking for 6 mo. in a 1000g system, i had the luxury of adding stuff rather quickly. I have tons of pods in the system, and everything looks great. I need to nuke a few aptasia's, and I moved that ric in the second to last pic, as it seemed to be unhappy when I moved it to add the duncan.
The clown tang, and Powder Blue/Powder Brown Hybrid were added together, and hang out together. it's actually pretty funny to watch. I have them eating Sea veggies, artic pods, Formula 1/2, and prime reef, along with Krill, and PE mysis. They get more variety then I do!

Wow I have been subscribed to this thread since the beginning but don't think I ever said anything. That is one nice setup you have. I love the aquascape and the fish you chose. Great work it looks amazing now but will look even better when its filled with corals.

I had one of my cleaner shrimp molt tonight. it scared the crap out of me, until I saw them both chilling in their usually cleaning stations.
