This tank is a work in progress. I have moved several times in the past year (3 to be exact and not by choice). Just posting here really to get input about placement and just a general idea of opinions on how the tank looks to others. Some of the coral in the tank belong to a friend who moved out of state. I'm just coral watching for a few months. In its current state this tank has been up about 6 months.

Really like your tank, very unique. Could you provide details of equipment and parameters?

Thank you for the kind words. The tank has been a challenge lately but the set up is as follows. 90 Gallon tank with custom built stand and canopy by a friend. Lighting is an Aqua Medic (2x) 250 watt HQI with Phoenix 14k bulbs and (2x) 48 inch T5 with ATI purple plus bulbs and 2 blue LED strips for accent lighting. My house is pretty cool so the tank stays around 75 to 79 degrees at all times. Sump has live rock and a Diablo Reef Octopus 220XS. Tank is bare bottom which is new to me. Nitrates, phosphates and ammonia non existant. Dkh was 11°, Ca was 480, Mag 1180, Salinity 1.024. Last test was Friday
