Beautiful tank and fish. I like the way that chalice has grown like a monti cap. Very unique. I also like the 3 pillar/island look.

Got to agree with everyone else - This is a beautiful tank - Love the aquascaping, the corals, and choice of fish too. The lighting really sets it off! Kudos! How long has it been running?

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the feedback. The tank has been up and running for almost 3 years now. I lost a lot of sps colonies last summer due to an alk swing but things are starting to get back on track. I may be switching my carx out for a bubble magus doser and brs 2 part or b ionic. I haven't quite decided yet.
