Well here she is. All 850 gallons of her. (well not quite 850 but close enough.) The main tank is a fiberglass monster with three acrylic viewing pannels in the front. They have been horribly scratched by the previous caretaker. (Coraline grows like mad so I understand the temptation to use something metal to get it off) It is lit by 2 1000 watt 10,000K bulbs in the back, two 400 20,000k blubs in the middle and two 65 watt 10,000k PCs in front. There are two sumps full of live rock. There is an ETSS (i think) Downdraft skimmer that does a wonderful job (I never thought a skimmer could foam so much!)
Well I had better let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

The display. I usually keep recovering frags or corals I need to keep an eye on.

From the other back corner. Shows the skimmer mounted above the first sump and discharging into second sump into filter bag.

I have more photos of the inhabitants as well if anyone would care to see.
I have two huge colonies of acropora, a large turbinarina reniformis, turbinaria peltata, two galaxias, some m. digitata, several fungia, tons of colt corals, cabbage leathers, devils hand, sacrophyton elegans, and probably a whole lot more that Im forgetting at the moment.
