Looking good! What is that huge table acro right in the middle of the tank? Kind of purple / reddish look, red planet?

It's called Drew's Acro, grew it from a 1" frag. I've shared some of it with a few people, including my buddy Drew who needed some when he set up a new tank. Full circle. :)

I figured it's about time I share my reef with you Reef2Reefers. :smile:

I have a 400g Starphire tank set up with a 60g anemone cube to its right. The 400g is a reboot. I started it up in Feb 2011 and a year later it leaked. It took 18 months to get it replaced, and now I'm going again. These pictures were taken on the 2 month anniversary of moving the livestock into their new homes.

The 400g is 84 x 36 x 30 with an external overflow box. The 60g cube is 24 x 24 x 24 with an internal overflow box. Both are plumbed into a common sump.

A question from a newbe. I see a "hood" on your large tank but none on the smaller; I have a Waterbox 70.2 reef tank and would like to make a top for it. Any concerns?

Love the tank, your video where you took out massive colonies to clean up the tank inspired me to do the same to mine a while back. I finally got the guts to do it and it paid off.

The achilles tang was my latest addition, and seems to be doing well. She's half the size of Spock, which is a great way to get a sense of scale in the aquarium. She's also smaller than my Kole tang.

Here are some coral pictures.
