It looks good so far. Tell us a little about it, lighting, filtration, sump-fuge, etc. The only criticism I would have is on the rock work on the left side. It looks pretty close to the glass. Do you have enough room to get a magfloat or other cleaning device in there to keep the glass clean?

Looks good to me also. Is the tank still cycling? Perhaps post one or two pictures of your sump. What are your plans?

I was not able to get a good idea about the flow behind the structure, but it looks somewhat like a patch reef idea, and those are very effective as long as you have good flow on all sides. If you dont have alot of flow you may want to add some more, but that is just my 2 cents. Anyways, it looks awesome so far, and keep the pictures coming.

My current equipment:
Koralia PH #2 (2)
Koralia PH #4
Meg 7 pump for my sump
Nova extremeT-5 lighting with D Giesemann Powerchrome AquaBlue+,midday, actinic+ and pure actinic
9w UV
ASM G1X
waiting for my RODI, should be here next week.

as for the sump, i am currently using a 29 gallon tank. Nothing is really in the sump besides for the equipment. i would like to enhance my sump so i can put more rocks, algae, etc...

I am curing my rocks in my tank so i think i would be cycling for awhile. and amazing i left enough room for me to clean the glass on the side.

I have not decide on exactly what type of reef stuff i am going with yet.. still researching to see exactly what i am.

I still have a lot to learn so my tank its gonna stay like this for awhile... I still trying to find out what corals are okay with my lighting system or if i need to improve my lighting.

Thanks for everyones interest.

The lighting should be good for almost anything you want, depending on what wattage you are running? You definitely need some zoanthids, and then take some pictures.

Tanks looks good to me, sounds like you are on the right track. When your rock is cured I would just spread it out more, make some crevices, caves etc...just some hiding spots for your fish, and shrimp love to move in and out of them as well. When I opened up my rock more it gave my snails more access to clean all the rock

Just my 2 cents.
