Awesome tank! Prediction: If you let everything grow out ie dont start fragging things, and no crashes, your tank will be Tank of the month in a year!

Thankyou for the nice compliment, I will let it grow until I have to frag( I would love to have that problem) and I shouldnt have a crash, I have it all controlled by Profilux.:wink:
I hope your prediction is right, I would love to have it to TOTM :bigsmile:

Great tank, may I ask what equipment is running this beautiful thing?

Its in my signature mostly. I use an ATB 840 v2 skimmer, 2 controlled tunze 6055 power heads, a wavemaker with tunze pump, 1 cup KZ carbon in phosban rx, always run 200micron filter sock, Zeo reactor for zeo system, ATB flowstar 1500 return pump with multiple outlets, GHL profilux p3 controller for pumps, lights, ATO, and dosing by means of a 4 pump GHL doser that doses ALK, CAL , KZ B-Bal, KZ Start2, and lastly the lighting is 3 AI sol blue Led modules.

Any updates? How's everything filling in?

 

[shelbyc]

Well it is definitely time for an update. Since the last post Ive added 1 more AI module , and in the last 2 weeks I've added 2 T5 for supplement, a Fiji purple and Super Blue. I did try Bio pellets for a month and a half, but quit that after I started losing some corals and severe TN. Since back to Zeovit things are recovering and growing well again. Here are some new pics:

Double post

 

[shelbyc]

Im not used to the new format for adding pics, can someone tell me how to add full-size pics not little thumbnails?

 

[shelbyc]

Ok I figured out how to post large pics, enjoy!

 

[shelbyc]

I got a new camera and no lie these pics are straight from the camera, no altering, and Im so happy because it takes the pics exactly how the tank looks. Of course the correct white balance was set first by taking a pic of white cutting board in the tank.

This is another pic showing how my tank is built-in:
