Inspiring tank!!! Truly amazing colors and love the collection of fish you have there.
Have you had any issues with the Regal and Emperor Angel nipping corals/clams? Congrats on the TOTM!

Congratulations, what an awesome tank you have. Its the first big sps tank me see with just LED lighting. It shows they work and give very nice colour. How is the growth under the LED?

Great looking reef. SPS is the direction I am going to go with my new 180. I have LED's on my current tank and have great growth on LPS. I am going the the same on the 180. I am incouraged with the growth you have with them.

Regarding the colors.....well, they are ok but i think there is a lot of work to do for me finding out the correct lenght and intensity of lighting in order to reach the same colors i used to have with MH

Luca. Congratulations.
Another beautiful tank from Italy. One question: How old is this tank? Sorry if I misread it.
