Very clean looking setup, congrats! How much live rock do you have in there? Looks like you could fit some more ;)

How did you secure that rock for that arch?

Those are some large zoa colonies you have.

Looks nice so far, I like the rockwork! What size tank are you using for your sump?

[j_beau_13]

TitansFan - It's around 75 lbs...I like giving my fish alot of swimming room and I also don't have to deal with dead spots around the tank for nitrate build up. The rock is just carefully stacked right now but getting some epoxy as soon as possible.

axia55 - using a 30 gal long

hey jeff whats with no sand in the back of ur tank? in the 4rth pic

[bmazza]

the 5th i mean

[j_beau_13]

its actually the front of the tank...you can see it in the second pic infront of the orange zoos...i have too much flow for my sandbed and it just drifts upfront due to the sea-swirl. everytime it sweeps across the tank it hits the front glass and rolls down pushing the sand away.

[j_beau_13]
