Let me have the first privilege to say your tank looks "AMAZING" and welcome to R2R.

And who say you those pics are bad....looks bad-butt to me lol. Again, beautiful setup. :)

Would love to see some pics of your sump. Sometime, seeing the mechanical behind the wheel is more fun. Maybe, just me...I know I'm weird :)

Where have I been.

I have never heard of the WWC Masterpiece.

Looks like I'll be adding this to my ever growing list of rainbow chalices.

I can second that one. I would say 90% of the corals in my tank are from him. His setup is the best I have seen today and the cleanest by far!

ive had the privledge of seeing most all of the rainbows in person, imo that one is the best.
