Wow! Those are some very nice SPS shots, but I see more than just SPS in that beautiful tank. Any shots of those LPS?

Not wasting any time are you? Great looking tank for such a short period setup.

that is quite a change from being 1 month old to present; must have cost a pretty penny acquiring all those colonies in that short of a time

New pic... I always saw this reflection shot and didn't know if it would photograph well. Guess it came out alright.

Nice tank. What size is the drain hole in your tank? I just bought a 150g that has only 1 2 &1/2" inch hole in the middle. No overflow cover or piping just a hole. I bought off a guy who never used it (going through divorce) and gave me a steal but just one hole is kind of a mess. I was wondering what kind of flow you get thru yours and if it is noisy?

I had three 1" holes drilled in my tank... two drains and one return coming up the middle. I use a Blueline 40 HDX for my return pump rated at 1270gph at 0 head... so figure I get about 900gph at 5' head.

I use twin Durso standpipes, so there is no noise at all.

Here's some red mushrooms with blue bumps I picked up today. They are not fully expanded yet, and the pics really don't do them justice.
