Sweet Greg! Do you feel you are getting enough water flow through the colonies?

Looking very nice, love all the colors, what kelvin lights are you using?

 

[Snappy]

Thanks for the kind words everybody.
Ok I'll try and answer the questions.

what kelvin lights are you using?

The lights are mixed with 3x 250w 10k & 2x 150 w 20k

Do you feel you are getting enough water flow through the colonies?

Excellent question. I don't get quite what I need in the rear center area and plan to do the ballast upgrade on my tunze 6000 to make it a 6100. That way I will have 2x 6100 and then the 2x sieo's in the front as well. I would like to get a wave box but my water level is too high so the waves would go over the glass.

The scarphyton sometimes does that, to shed I think and I was too impatient that day to wait for it to extend it's polyps. With the variety of coral I have in there it's not always easy to get a picture when everything is opened up at the same time. Regarding the Finger leathers you see on the RH side, I cut them back to sell frags but don't "replant" them, they just spread naturally. I frag them to keep them from spreading too much.

WOW! What are your spec's?

My tank is 72w x 18d x 24h making it 130 gal. With only an 18" depth I am limited in my aquascaping, hence the coral wall. If I could do it over again I would go at least 30" front to back.
I think that was all the questions, so thanks again for the nice comments. I welcome any feedback, comments & suggestions. As Kevin says "Thanks for looking."

Thanks very much, I normally wouldn't put a car picture for an avitar in a reef forum but since it's my "stingray" it almost fits the theme :lol:
Thanks again,

I am new to the saltwater side of the hobby and am trying to learn as much as I can before jumping in. I see the initials "SPS" cited in many posts. What exactly does "SPS" stand for?
