Thank you for sharing such an awesome tank! It's very inspiring. I love the aquascape, placement and colors of the corals. In particular, that orange M. Digitata has some awesome green in it!

I like how your setup is relatively simple. It just goes to show that you don't need too many additives and hi-tech equipment; good husbandry is what counts. Great work!

Please send us more pics; they're amazing too! Also, I've gotta ask: Can we see FTS's of the all three sides. Peninsulas are great for showing off so many angles of the coral. It feels like you have two tanks.

Awesome pics! The colors look great on all the corals, but those Digitatas are awesome! If you can't tell, I'm a bit crazy for the digi's.

Makes sense...I just read in your original post that this is center overflow and thought I could make it out in the picture but was not for sure.

I aspire to have a tank this beautiful. Great job for only a year out...My new tank is only a few months in and grow out is good...I just don't have your camera/video skills.

Can it be the bio pellets that giving those lovely colours? I must say you hace one beautiful tank. Everyone strives for the best colours and your tank has that. Ok and you doing it with just 2 x 250w metal halides.

thanks for the complement zaheda!!! i would have to say the bio pellets is just one part of it, balance and stable system is the key. as per the lighting I've added 2 T5HO actinics a few months ago, and on the same note I've also reduced the MH lighting time from 8 hours to 6 hours. and the actinics only run before and after the mh. I've also seen some color improvement after the change happened.
