I like the open space to the right,...are you planning on adding rock and expanding in that direction as your tank grows? That would be a great way to build your reef rather that filling all at once. I always need time to think and rethink my layout and still I move things.

Love the display. Great way to incorporate open space and a reef.

It is nice having fish the whole experience of this tank has tough me to slow down in stocking.

Yes the plan was to slowly add as needed. This helps me when i buy larger corals they are usually attached to larger rocks.

But I kinda like the way it is as it reminds me or diving in Mauritius and looking at there reefs. More natural looking in my opinion.

Thank you i think it is at a point now where i truly enjoy it.

New fish are in !!!!
I would like to thank Red and The Coral Reef Shop for these amazing fish.

I also today ordered a few upgrades to the tank from reefsupplies.ca, I am going to be adding the ALD to my apex with 3 low-profile probes. I will also be changing my Jebo's that I currently run with the Apex WAV. I ended up going with 4 WAV pumps and 2 modules. The other option I was going to go with was the Maxspect Gyre XF130 x4 but it lost the coin toss .

I will also be adding 1 more AFS to try to curb any aggression that is bound to show up due to the new inhabitants of my tank. Also a VDM module for some projects I have planed.

The only thing I think I am missing now is one more DOS system for dosing.. This will come later as I slowly switch into sps.

I will be taking some pics of my tank this weekend as it is doing quite well in my eyes. I also have a video interview with LEOPAZZO coming up that will be fun and hopefully answer some questions on my system. I know now that he is battling a crash on his tanks and hope he is still up for doing it.

Yes the fish seem calm compared to other tanks I have seen. It is amazing how fast the fish can get going over 16'..
