Here are some pix of my current tank. It's an Evolve8. The bottom of the filter chamber is drilled to make it a flow through. The light is a BeamsWork, don't remember the model. I added s 12" strip of blue LEDs on the front edge for moonlight. It's been running as-seen for about 3 years. Before that it was in my office, but I just didn't have enough control over the environment there. It's been through horrible spells of hair algae, bubble algae, and a few aiptasia. All of that worked itself out over time. All I've been doing for the past several months is keeping it topped off and adding a few drops of Kent CoralVite weekly. I also add a few drops of MicroVert every couple of weeks. I test with API strips to make sure nothings gone off the rails. The little acrylic box on top is my ATO. The stand is a pre-built bathroom cabinet from Home Depot. Oh it also has a Hydor Flo on the return. The big polyps seem to like that a lot. I need to add some mushrooms and xenias (yes, I like them, get over it), but I'm not in a hurry.

I'm planning to start work on the 55gal this weekend so those pix will be coming soon.
