To me it is simply the best tank i ever saw. From composition of aquascape to fish selection and coral placemet. Absolutlly stuning.

Absolutely beautiful system. I searched for this thread for months now and thankfully I found it on google a few minutes ago. Definitely my inspiration for the build I have planned for the end of this year. Love the fact that you have a wide variety of fish, as well as starting this tank off with frags instead of large colonies.

My plans were for a 72-96 x 36 x 36. If you could do it over again would you think the extra length a benefit? How about the depth, the extra 6" worth it?

Wow!!! Your tank looks like it is at least 2-3 years old! The corals are huge and look like they have been growing in place for a while. Jealous!

Oh man, The guilt card. I feel really bad now Rev. I love you guys, you know that. I am just a lazy guy who finds it so easy just to go on FB. I will try harder to get back in a routine to post more pics over here.

This is what I hope my reef grows into.

Patience, patience, patience.

Did you have any trouble with some of those 'harder to keep' anthias? If so what steps did you take?

This go around I shy'd away from anthias and decided to go Butterflies and angels. Although I do now have a trio of Bimac anthias.

I could never have a reef without wrasses.
I agree. In my previous reef, I didn't have but one, and on this one I've got multiple. I'll never have another reef without them.
