wow! amazing rockwork! I agree -- the shadows will definitely play in your advantage. Very clean look. Following for sure

4x 60" 14000k

4x 36" actinic

anything other than chaeto that i should keep in my refugium?

With your lighting I think that you can do sps in certain places in your tank. Quite a few people are running gorgeous sps tanks with just T5s. You can always come grab some cheap sps frags from me and test them out.

thats exactly what i was thinking.... but you live sooooooo far from me. i live on 161 Ave :(

I was at both of your places and it's not to far in my opinion .. LOL

I really want a monti pora. But how would I attach it to my rock so it grows out from a ledge?

update:
