Well I have finished off the main re design on the softy side of tank , here's a few pics of it , open for critique or ideas as well.
I have been able to open up the valley look more on this side which is what I was trying to achieve. Tank is set up so that looking at it from either left or right side , it creates a different view for people. This way coming into the room at first gives you a different perspective than after you have sat down over in the Theater area. The new aquascape also help to create the illusion that the tank is even deeper than the actual 3'. ( or it's suppose to help anyways ) First pic is view down on the tank ( not sure how to get on without all the light reflections ) Left side  Right side  Softy side  Couple of overhead views showing valleys    Shows valleys for each direction of view  overall view from front Last edited by Rus; 05-30-2010 at 03:44 PM.

bit of an update : about 6-8 weeks ago or so I had some major issues in my tank , and ended up loosing around 30- 40 % of my corals , with my company crazy busy as well , I wasn't able to give it my attention it needed to fix the issues , so thus the losses. With me starting to get a handle on things work related , I decided to spend some time this weekend and reaquascape and change a few things up.
I have been thinking about going to LED lighting for a while now so bit the bullet this weekend and purchased an Illumina 260 ( 72" ) . After spending a few more hours on the re aquascaping and setting up the unit , I have it pretty much beat for now. I must say I am quite impressed woth the Vertex Unit ( I know better be after that amount ) , and look forward to seeing how thing go over the next few weeks. For any of you that have switched over to LED from MH , I'm curious to know what intensity you used to start out , and how you progressed it over time to ramp it up. I always see things on turning them way down to start , but couldn't you just raise them up higher and then lower down over a week or two? I will get few pics later on today to add to this once all the lighting is at full strength.

Hey Rus, I am interested to here how the switch to Leds turns out.
I am not on the band waggon yet. I would like to see some long term results on keeping sps under just led's. Alot of money into that light fixture! Good luck! Ps. Don't sell your halides yet
