Enjoy! (please excuse some of the distortion, fish kept swimming on the surface)

Awesome shots Greg! Your tank is amazing and is even more impressive in person than via these photos. Just in case anyone even thinks of implying those photos are doctored! They're not! if anything they underepresent your tank! Chris

Gorgeous shots.

Your signature says you run 250 HQI lighting. What K bulb? I notice your acros get the white branch with the colored corralites. Mine did the same thing when I ran XM 10K.

Beautiful shots - looks like you have no problems with corraline growth either.

Thanks for the compliments from you all. It means so much to me!

ReefRockerLive: I can't disclose my methods just yet. I am still working on bottling the secret and selling it for half the price of Zeovit! All kidding aside. I skim really wet w/ ozone (approx 2 gallons/day), water changes are done my making up the lost skimmate, phosban, purigen, and carbon in fluidized bed reactors, ligts on for 8 hours per bulb.

cediss: Thanks Chris, don't forget the meeting this Friday.

LawnTodd: Well for the right price! JK

schanz: The bulbs are 14K Phoenix.

jsweir: Believe it or not compared to most tanks i seriously lack coraline.

headonkey: Sorry, they aren't touching yet.

skeletor: Thanks Rich. That coral also has green coralites if you look closely.

cozmo1: What up Chris!

Travis: Bulbs are 14K Phoenix
