Introduce myself & some pictures!
Hello all,
sphelps got me on here and I thought I'd stop lurking and post up a couple shots. My equipment is a D200, 28-70mm f2.8 IF-ED, 50mm f1.8 ED, and a 105mm micro VR stabilized f2.8. I usually clean up the colour and sharpness on photoshop, but not always. Enjoy, Scott

Yes, welcome. And those zoos/palys/whatever-they-are ... wow. When you get a chance, please tell us a bit about your tank(s)?

Thanks for the comments all!
The tank is nothing special, an 85 gal (36"wx18"dx30"h) that is impossible for me to touch the bottom. Runs with a single corner overflow feeding a 40 gal acrylic sump with a QO 6000 for a return. I have a phosphate reator running 24/7 and drip kalkwasser every night. The top off is a tunze and runs like a charm. Skimming is a ER RC135. My lighting is 6 overdriven T5's with individual IceCap reflectors. 4 of the lights are on an IC 660 and the other two (my dawn and dusk) are on an IC 430. I do about a 25% water change every two weeks and am running an aquasafe RO/DI that cleans my tap water (170ppm) to 0ppm. I use Tropic Marin salt, which is good so far. I keep 95% LPS and am dabbling in SPS but I prefer to keep my nutrients higher for the LPS. Wendy and I just moved into our new home this January and have been developing the basement for our animals. I just ran two 20 amp circuits to the "fish room" and her reptiles have four 15 amp circuits, two on built in wall timer for the day/heat lamps, etc. Our new reef tank will be a 72"l x 48"d x 22"h (~360 gal).  Should have a tank in place by Oct/Nov which I will then let run sans livestock until the spring. Looking forward to learning from you all! Scott

The overflow isn't going to be exactly as shown, I'm going with something a little smaller and likely on the non-visible side.
The Zoa's are 5 colour rainbows, my colony took a turn for the worse after our move but I still have 5 polyps holding in there!
