Beautiful tank! I must agree that a black background would make it even better,.

Thanks for the comments! This tank has been setup for about a year. Most corals were moved from my old setup. The larger corals are about 2 or 3 years old. Everything was grown from frags except the Tenuis.

Answering Reefez's question...Yep. IMO the crushed coral worked better. Less likely to trap detritus, due to the flow through. It also doesn't blow around, and i'm sure is good area for bacteria.

How do you keep up with the Ca and Alk? I'm sure the Gigas demands a lot. 2-part or Ca Reactor?

Blntz- Well done! not overcrowded, great balance of color and the combination of tables and stags is amazing. one of the best tanks i've seen on here in awhile.

I always like it when people keep their liverock levels low since you can let the corals occupy that space. Great colors too! What kind of lighting are you running (the colors lead me to believe T5)?

Thanks for all the comments guys! I'm going to get started on some close ups! As for some of the questions asked. I'm using 3 - 400w MH w/ 4 sup atinics. The large Gigas I purchased about half the size and he turned almost completely blue. My personal fav.
