welcome to canreef!

one question: do you really expect criticism on a tank like THAT?! lol that is a thing of beauty!

how many gallons is in that bad boy?

I get alot of stick from my local reef forum for having poor pics and a messy sandbed!! :D :D

It's a 250g dude! ;)

That looks exactly like my tank ... well ... except yours has beautiful aquascaping, amazing coral and nice proportions. Mine ... a moonscape in comparison!!!
