Cool lookin tank, corals, and fish Will you be adding any more rock eventually or will that be all? Just curious is all.

Oh, and do you have 2 metal halide bulbs on there? Just wondering cuz that first full tank pic you can kinda see light beams so i figure theres 2 MH's.

Cool tank

There are actually 3 250watt MH 2 10k and 1 12K and 6 55watt pc's, If more rock comes about it will be probally with corals.

Yea that beam doesn't really go away. It does fade some as more rock goes in but my 180 has the same issue (although not as noticeable)

ya i wouldnt think you'd notice it in person really. I know that my camera makes 03 actinics look very very bright blue...when in person they look like dull purple lol.

Do you have the 12K one in the middle maybe? Maybe that'd be why the camera picked up the beam...who knows lol.

gotta love that little yellow watchman gobie there tho

Thanks for all the comments guys, I have had no problem with my Lemonpeel, I actually have 3 dwarf angels in there, The Lemonpeel, Coral Beauty and Rusty angel and they are all buds and leave the corals alone.

Very nice tank. Could you give specifics as to your filtration? I am going to be setting up a 125 (72x18x22) and thinking of ordering the overflows. Do you have a sump?
Love the watchman goby. I have one along with his buddy a pistol shrimp and a brittle star. They all three live under one rock.

Ahh yes For water movement I'm running a Dolphin Ampmaster 3000 on a closed loop with 8 1/2 inch lockline. I am using an old 75 gallon tank for my sump when water enters the sump I have a filter bag to catch large particles, I'm running a Southbay 6-2 skimmer w/ a sedra 500 pump. My return pump is a quietone 6000, w/ 3/4 inch lockline output's. I also have over 140lbs of live rock w/ 200lbs of southdown sand with a top layer of carib sea Indo-Pacific sand. Is there anything else you want to know about my system?

Yes, please.
Is that a AGA tank? I see one center overflow? Is the tank drilled on the bottom and if so, did you drill or was it drilled when you purchased?
Thanks

very nice. I really like the rock kind of spread out giving the fish lots of room to swim laps
