That is AWESOME!!! I love the diversity in not only the corals, but also the fish...

I'm currently contemplating doing the upgrade right now, and this TOTM sure gives me a lot of ideas!!! Great tank!

Gorgeous tank! How do the pyramid butterflies get along? After seeing them diving in Kauai, I want to get a bunch for my 370gal tank. Congrats!

Whoops

In the lighting details I somehow missed mentioning one on my MH's. Besides the 6' fixture there is a 250 watt pendent to light up the other two feet of the length. This gives a total of 4x 250w phoenix bulbs across the front half of the tank.
