"Rainbow envy" could also describe that tank ... rainbows are jealous!

Really nicely laid out, and the corals obviously respond well to whatever you're doing! (Maybe less well to the coral-sitter . . . ) You'll have 'em back in top form in no time, I'm sure!

yes i like the tank very much .. only thing that sucks is the center overflow.. takes up a lot of space and the sides are unusable :)
