Little showboating here .... since my upgrade to my new bulb configuration (1 54 watt T5 Actinic plus, 1 54 watt T5 11,000k white, and 2x175 watt 14k Coralvue Halides)

Simply love it .... as you can see by the green star polyps (bottom right of tank) I get plenty of flourecing pop during the daylight hours while still maintaing a overall cool white appeal.

Must give Tom credit for taking the time to test out different bulbs in my presence to acheive the the perfect look

numerous types of zoanthids have been glued like groundcover all over the reef. ranging from pinks to greens to orange and yellows.

Upstairs Display: I have a 55 AGA reef ready. I run the above mentioned Aquactinics fixture... I use three maxi jet powerheads 2-600 and 1-900 running off a timer for circulation.

In the basment I have another 55 gallon tank that has been parttioned in half. Half to be a fuge the other to be a frag/grow out tank. two maxi jet 900 for circulation and a deep sand bed of 6 inches is run in the fuge. I run a dual 150 watt HQI AB fixture with a Coralreef (LFS brand) 20k bulb.

Both tanks are plumbed into the same sump in the basement .... I run a Euroreef 6-3 a Mag 1800 for the main circulation all in a custom made 40 gallon breeder sump .... total volume comes to 130 gallons. I also have a auto top off, Pinpoint PH meter, AquaFX 5 stage Ro/DI set up on a auto shut off etc etc etc

Len, if you can get more closeup pictures that would be nice. I'd like to see some better closeup of your tanks along with its corals.

I like the middle rockwork. So much even space there, you could put a whole line of acros! :D

Does your tort have a name to it? Oregon tort, california, ora, etc???What colors does your tri color have and what color polyps.

Keep up the great work and fill that tank completely to the rim with corals.
