Very nice Kevin! Do you have any equipment shots? How many gallons? List of livestock? How long running?

Very beautiful! We just bought our first fish yesterday for our 60 gal tank. No corals yet as we are starting slowly and just have the live rock and sand. How high does your reef go? Are the rocks all against the back of the tank. I would love to build one up to look like yours. We have just three fish....a hippo tang, a clown fish and a scissor tail goby. The two later ones are hiding under a rock and not coming out. We only got them yesterday and are told the tang is very shy at first. Was your tang like that? We hope to add new lighting and our first coral in a week or so, depending on how the tang is doing. Thanks for sharing the photo....gives us hope!
