Do you have a wave going in there or is there a slight slant from right to left? It seems like you can see the water line on the right but not on the left. It will be fun stocking a system that big

I wish I had that same problem. How long before the big corals are going in?

Yeah thats a wave from a power head with the 2100 algaefree mod on it. Corals are in, tank is just that big where they look small

got a few shots, the dendros were closed as with the scerlo's so I'll shot those later
This red gorgonian has such tiny delicate polyps, really cool looking coral IMO

Erik,

how long now has your water been in there? Did you not have any kind of cycle starting after you set it up?

Looks like we are doing this at the same time, but I have an algea breakout. Started out brown and now green and has covered everything.

You did not have this?

I added the water then the next day everything went in. I had a small diatom issue but nothing more then that. Most of the rock was dead rock too. I wasn't to scared though as Im not running a ton of light over the tank and is 360 gallons so I went for it.
Plus the tank is maybe 1/8 stocked.

good luck with your tank.

Thanks, but now you have me a little cofused. You said one of the reasons you were not too scared is that you are running a ton of light over the tank. Do you mean output or duration? I always thought you wanted to start out small with as little light as an hour and then increase little at a time.

Check out my tank by clicking on my "red House". You can see pictures there and see how it is over taking everything.

Any suggestions you could add over there would be great!

I love your setup!!

opps, ment to say not running a ton of light

sorry
