Now your talking business!
Colors are vibrant and healthy :)
Good job and keep it up!
little by little... I have coral battling for space now, I have fragged pieces that have been broken off by my hippo of a Naso vlamingii growing right out of the sand bed... might be time to move him to the 180 in the basement:(.

VERY NICE........ When you were telling me about your tank at CMAC I didn't realize how nice your tank really was. A picture is worth a thousand words.
