How are the Vegas doing as far as your lighting needs ? I'm building a 120g (60x18x26t) and wondering if two of them will be enough.

Tank looks awesome btw.

Hi Fellas. Well the past year has seen many changes in my life, which put the tank and forum on the back burner. Thanks to the friendship and inspiration of Spotter (whose tank is amazing by the way) I'm starting to get the tank back on track.


I had a battle with Ich which knocked out most of my large fish, include the Idol and Copperband and more of less had to start again with the fish. Now it's mostly full of Anthias, Bartletts and Dispars, along with a stunning Maculiceps Tang. I lost a number of my Acro colonies, but others are thriving.


I'll just leave some photos here to show where the tank is as of 1/16/2015. I'll do my best to come by more often.
