those are brilliant What kind of lighting do you have, and what's your filtration on it? Also, how long have you had your elegance?

I like the green trumpets as well, (stand out a lot), and do you have a fish in there to control conditions a bit? Are you going to put one in? Mebbe a six line wrasse or blenny?

Thank you all.

Reefynewby and mikekman

The tank light by two 175w 20k XM. It shares the sum with my 300g SPS tank. I have this Elegance for about 3 years.

Reefynewby.

I have fish in there, a pair of clowns and some damsels.

That's pretty cool I love looking at my corals from top-down also.

Is the tub a stand-alone system or hooked up to a reef system?

Man, those are nice Scolys! Everything else is killer too. However, they are too crowded. You need to give them some room. I'd be happy to help with this problem! LOL.
I hope you do frag a few, though.

I just want to add that the elegance is a frag of the mother colony that I got about ten years ago. Deapsea have the last survive frag since I got out of the hoby 3 years ago.

Good job bro! BTW, that efflo is getting bigger everyday...Your tank is beautiful as always.

Anh John,

What's a surprise!
I never thought that I will see you here again.
Recognize the corals. Most of them are yours.
When will you get back to the hobby?

Neat! I love that open aquascape, its something you don't see very often..
If I ever get a large reef, I'm going for two LR pinnacles with a valley between them. I just don't care that much for the wall across the entire tank look ( with some exceptions) as much..
Of course, I'll never have the time, the money, or the health. Or maybe I'll win a lottery! Who knows? LOL. Nice work.

I am going to guess the sump has most of the LR?

Your pictures are incredibly amazing.

So many different tangs look like they all get along too? 300g is BIG but I never gave much thought to so many different species together they are gorgeous!

How old is the efflo?

Sorry for asking so many questions its not every day you see amazing looking livestock like this

Thank you all.
MMathews, I thinks I'm just lucky with the Elegance.

chrisstie, you are right, mos of the LR is in the 90g sum.
I've been having the Efflo since 2004 when it was 4".
The tangs are pretty friendly to each other.
