What size tank is it and what is that in the back upper right corner of the first pic?

Looking great. I remember when I set mine up many years ago.

That is my long nose hawkfish looking to be fed.

Thanks for the welcome. The light is the 4x39W bulb T5 from Coralife. I have 10k's and actinics in there now. Macro algae growth is decent in the top half of the tank and green glass algae can grow well at the bottom of the tank. I am hoping my bottom corals will be happy with the light.

My overflow now has two pipes coming out of the back with one in full siphon and the other as an emergency. I believe this is the Herbie style?

I think Brian was referring to the black equipment looking thing behind the fish. I was wondering what that was too.

Looks like an Aquaclear power head.

Yep. I am bouncing it off the back glass for circulation.
