Here are a few update photos..... all taken under two ATI Coral+ and two Reef Brite one XHO and one normal output both are all blue.

grown from a frag, this is probably one of my bluest coral unfortunately it doesn't completely show in the photo.

this one was id'ed as exquisita acropora from a reliable source

here is the same coral last year as you can see the tips are stating to turn yellow/green. it's just not a pretty blue coral!

here is my icefire echinata with full polyp extention

here is the same icefire echinata without polyps

Nice tank

I have a 120 peninsula/in-wall tank and just bought a 240 to replace it (60x36x25tall) - looking for aquascape ideas now that I have lots of depth (front to back). Yours looks great!
Did you glue most corals to rocks or pre-drill holes in the rocks?
Did you drill holes through the rocks for putting fiberglass rods in to keep rocks where you want them?

thanks rhwimmers!!!! now that is my dream tank!!!!!

yes the corals are glued to the rocks, but next time I setup again I will definitely pre-drill the rock works.

as per the current rock work yes the rocks were pre-drilled for the fiberglass rods.

As much as I like to view the system up close ie. my head right in to the glass!!!!! I also enjoy looking at the system a little further back, so I thought why not share it with you guys and see what you guys thing....

Here is my view from the left side. The TV in on this side of the room, and when ever the baseball game gets out of hand I find my watching the system more the game.

Here is the view from the right side. This is what everyone see when they first walk in to the room.
