Wowzers...and I didn't even have to give up a hug for that one...Thanks Todd for the kind words..Becca
 
WOW!
This is definitely one reeftank you just have to see in person to get the REAL impression of just how sweeeet it is. The DIY-LED Lighting, customized furniture, aquascaping, coral & fish selection all done to near perfection "Great frickin Job you two" cannot wait to see it mature another 6 months or more.

Cheers, Todd

I couldnt agree more with what Todd said.

Just absolutely fricken awesome! My 180 wants to grow up and be like Eric and Beccas!
 
Went to Shaun's (reefreak) a few days ago and picked up some "frags".

Took some pics last night just before the lights turn off. The royal blue's and blues were the only lights on and at 2% power. The photos have not been retouched, they are exactly how they look to the naked eye.

This is still very pink but the white balance isn't showing it well in this shot. Lots of polyp extension too :D
