Moved 10 days ago and this is my new tank. :)

Bare bottom Perfecto 36x18x24(65g) drilled with a custom overflow box and 1.5" drain.
20L sump with a bowl of sand. :)
Two modded koralia 4's.
Two modded 6045 nanostreams.
Water Blaster HY-3000 return pump on a 3/4" seaswirl.
Octopus XP-2000 skimmer.
6x39w ATI Sunpower.
36" blue Reefbrite LED strip.

I use Brightwells two part along with Brightwells Vitamarin C, Koral Color, Microbacter 7, Coral Amino, Reef Snow, Zooplankton, Potassium, and BRS's Reef Chili. Same stuff I used on my previous setup. I will do a weekly 10g water change.

I sold most of my fish before the move. I want to keep the load minimal until the tank settles in. For now I have a scooter blenny, starki damsel, and a red dot dottyback. I plan on adding a chevron tang and a sixline wrasse in the future.

Here is a full tank shot. I will get some closeups eventually.

Have you put the reefbrite on with the 6-T-5, how bright is it. Do you have any acans or just chalice? I have a 6x24 sunpowere and was wondering if the reffbrite strip would be ticket or just too much light. Thos fixtures put out aton of light.

I run the reefbrite strip the entire time the light is on. Everything looks great! I ran a 400w halide on my last tank so the corals are used to high light.
 
Is the photo with all lights on? Can you post with just reefbrite. What bulb combo are you using. Been changing mine around to dim the output/color, The ATI is a bright sucker
 
Nice tank! I especially like the rock work creating overhangs, and the Cyphastrea sp.
 
Wow.. looks nice man!! love all the colors on the bottom..
Thanks Mike! I don't know what that favia is in your avatar, but I love it!!!

Thanks Mark! It took me awhile to get those overhangs how I wanted them, but I love the way it turned out. Meteor Shower cyphastrea is a must have. :)
 
The new tank is looking good Mike. Think I recognize a piece or 2 in there, we're gonna need some close ups!
 
Its the SC angel eyes.. My favorite favia of all times.. =)
I'm gonna have to get some of that. I need to make room first... lol!
Looking good! Glad to see everything took the move well :)
Thanks Kris!

I think there's 5 pieces in there from you. The funkadelic isn't growing for me at all though. It receeded a bit but is still alive thankfully. :)
