Thanks guys, the tank is just happy right now. At some point I'll screw something up and my least favorite colors of brown and white will return. On a side note, I was at fengs today and all I can say is that man has built the biggest tank I've ever seen!! Wonderful time chatting and seeing all his home made tanks. The corals are outstanding in color and size. One can appreciate what A true colony looks like. Gotta go back.

Tank is looking good! Top down shots are always awesome.
Next time you go to Feng's let me know, he's like, right in my back yard. I've been meaning to get over there one day.

mini group meeting at Feng's? I'm down. lol
How many mini group meetings do you want?
I'm in. I still haven't been there....EVER, and I really want to go
It's a cool place (fengs), he is a bug eccentric and talks like a run on sentence but he LOVES his corals. I believe his store really is just a place to house his tank andante sell some stuff to cover costs. He is practical with fish choice and keeps those that do a job. Lighting is all led similar to reefbreeders. He strongly believes in frequent if not daily water changes. He really has an awesome tank!!! To top it off he built it himself and says its so easy! Lol. I say Brian since you'd his neighbor call him and let's set a date.
I'm in too, depending the day and the time, it will be my first time going to Feng too.
you can never have enough reef talk! haha
Wow. Nice rig Pete. Tank look awesome.

a 29 high that has a 200micron nylon sock, skimmer and some more macro befor flowing through the pipe in the left corner and through the wall to...
the 40 below the display. See the pipe in the far right. Total volume of system excluding rock is about 158 gal.

More shots. These are some survivors from that group buy where the colonies were huge.
These I got from Nikki and Mike
This is a strawberry shortcake from Down beach that was pissed and brown but started to color up this week
Here is a frog skin from Down beach also
My favorite monti from fish brain
What's not to love about this
Got a hammer in the far back
Some deep water from the unique group buy, slow grower but great color
Red dragon on a magnet
Herb gave me this a few years back. It's a little faded but lower light gives green skin, purple polyps and lavender new growth
My fave favia
Green is a great color on the reef

The 29 gal in closet is a little higher than the 40 under the display. It flows back by passive gravity. No pump required. The only return pump is in the 40 left corner that shoots straight up.
After almost 2 years in this hobby, only now can I fully appreciate what you have achieved here. This is an art. Well done sir.
