My new setup

I thought I would share a few pics of my new setup. Many of the corals have not yet colored up like usual yet, but thats to be expected. My BTA has'nt opened up yet, I hope he does soon my clowns seem kind of lost.

Full tank shot


Right side



Left side



The corals sitting in the sand are the frags that broke during the move

One more Full tank shot



Let me know what you think.

I think it would look better if you gave me that hammer towards the top, it looks out of place in there. Would look much better in my tank,lol Looks great like the bridge on the left a lot.

Wow! Probably stressed from all the moving. Mine still has not completely inflated yet. The frags look great, thanks for coming by.

Thanks again everyone for the compliments. There are so many caves and tunnels in the rack work, its hard to get them on camera. My last tank apparently was a 40 tall, this breeder with the extra width give much more opportunity to make tunnels and what not.

Gary, how could you tell the tank gets natural sunlight?

Your lighting set-up looks really nice, your sand is so clean the light reflects perfectly!

Weird question but were did you get your sand?
