Last night I decided to take the two aquablues out of my fixture, as I felt it was way too blue. I added one other new gen coral light and a fiji purple. The order is now (from front to back) new gen, fiji, new gen new gen. So far i am very happy with it, especially now that the tank has completely cleared. Here is a pic! The colors are very true to real life. To the naked eye I would say it is only slightly bluer than the picture! I have been debating with myself about wether to add 10 more punds of rock, but I quite like the open look!

That rock looks nice! You did something similar to mine with that overhead rock but your rock for that part looks way cooler (like it was meant for it).

Open concept looks nice plus less places for the fish to hide like they do in mine :(

Have'nt updated in a while because there hasn't been much worth updating... Tank has been running now for three months, rock has had some time to color up and cycle the tank. I added my first coral and a clean up crew about a month ago. Here are some pics of the progress...

Full Tank (it's a little dark because i had to turn the exposure down the sand is too blinding and washes everything out)

Got a new Remora skimmer last week and love it! For a hob skimmer it quiet and efficient! Also stopped in at Red Coral Edmonton last week on my through and picked up a couple fishes. Here are a couple new pics of the tank. Don't mind the caulerpa, its been an ongoing battle picking it out but i believe i am gaining the upper hand!
