Looking good. That fixture lights up the tank well. After seeing this tank in person, I would have to say the pictures dont really show the depth and texture of the rock work, he has really done a great job. I cant wait to see this tank full of fish/corals.

Youre going to love the ATI fixture. I have the same one over my 125, and will be using it on my 210 when its set up too. I really like youre aquascaping too. Looks good!

Thanks. I like the ATI so far. Seems to be great. I drove to like 5 shops yesterday looking for the right tangs. My wife had a very specific idea of what she wanted as did I so it was interesting looking. We wanted to get the yellow tang over, but I really wanted to add all tangs at once, so we spent the day shopping. Ended up with a small Hippo and a med/large sailfin. Also got all of the tangs and the trigger into the tank. It has been over 24 hours now and everyone seems to be getting along and swimming just fine. I have also observed every single fish eating a lot, so no issues there.   I was a bit worried about the huge bio load being added, but we will see. I have over 260lbs of live rock between the tank and the sump and the skimmer is making the perfect bubbles, so we will see.

Well my parents came to town this last weekend, so I made sure the tank was clean and healthy. My parents have never really seen a privately owned sw tank, and were so excited by mine, that they bought me some stuff for it! Aussie Prism Favia (I Think)  I was told it is a hammer coral, but am pretty sure it is a frogspawn:  Candy Cane Coral:  Oh and here is my wife:  I also got a purple anemone and a flame angel!  Also on Saturday my Coral Beauty died. When I got him I noticed some white just behind his front fins. It looked as he had been ripped or something, but I didn't look too closely at the pet store to select another. I assumed he had a little battle damage as it looked as if nothing was growing off of him etc, but I noticed he kind of stayed at the bottom of the tank and really didnt come out much. Anyway, when I pulled him out I noticed that area was bloated and stretching so that was why it appeared to be white. not sure exactly what was wrong with him, but I yanked him just as he was dying so he wouldn't spread his illness.

Thanks. Pam/ Troy, did you guys see the clowns making their appearances in the video?
Jackie, that tang thinks all 180gallons belong to it. The sailfin is bigger and yet the yellow is THE BOSS.

That piece looks great there. Nice job on the rock work. I will have to swing by sometime when things slow down for a closer look.

^Thanks!! A picture of my future overstock issue:  Those Four are pretty good buddies right now though and have been together over a month. The Yellow Tang and Trigger have been together for a while.

Well look at me go. I haven't spent money on my tank or made additions since sep 9th! Yesterday I traded my 10gallon tank for a couple of frags: Lobo Coral  and a Fire and Ice/ Rainbow Acan (you can barely see it at the top of that rock structure):

Thanks. I am pretty happy as my corals all seem happy. The favia had white marks where it was fragged, but it has all turned purple again so I know it is growing.
I got a Lawn Mower Blenny and another Emerald Crab today too. ....

Ok so I got new stuff yesterday! I Got a Blue Spot Jawfish, But I will need some luck getting a picture of him. Here is my Maxima Clam. He is maybe 5 or 6 inches?  An unknown Zoanthid from Zoanthids.com (Maybe I can email them and ask what it is)  A Viagra Toadstool surrounded by? Chime in if you know what those little ones are.  Montipora filled with Zoa's! Front:  Back:  Cup Coral, not exactly sure of a name other than that.  And here are some shots of the other ones that are still growing in the tank! My Favia seems to be growing like crazy:  Fire and Ice Acan:  Frogspawn (Also Seem Very Happy)  Lobo Scolly  Purple/ Green Duncan (not really growing but seems healthy)  Zoanthids L-R (Green Bay Packers, Not Sure, Armor of God)  More Zoanthids (These seem to be growing like crazy)  24/7 Sun Corals (They rarely go inside like my other ones. I have been told these are firecracker dendros, but who really knows?)  Yellow Toadstool going strong:
