The 110 level up.

Nice, looks great! I was wondering what kind of tank those extra long arm's where going on.

They're almost extra short on this tank.

And those where the longest one's that have been made so far. How are the LED's depth penetration to the bottom of the tank?

I measured it out and the max height possible was the same as what I needed. Thanks, they're great! The LEDs are good so far, they were advertised as being effective to 30" and that's what I've got. (Aqua gloves aren't long enough to reach the bottom; it spills over if I stretch) I will know better after assessing the coral growth. At 30% the sand is still almost blinding. There's a devils hand near the bottom and it's pretty happy, tough to say whether more or less effective light is getting down there though.

So I got my first Tang the other day, sold as a Blackspot Tang, although it's colouration is way different at home than in store (better at home). I'm pretty sure it's Acanthurus nigrofuscus but not 100% certain. Here's a the tang posing with the Devil's Hand that survived the move and the resident Starry Blenny:

I've got test frags of different types of corals to see how they like the flow, lighting and water quality, so far after about 3 weeks running it all seems to be going great. Corals have good feeding responses and colouration. The metallic GSP I kept from the old tank is like 95% bleached but polyps are now out finally and I'm sure it'll come back.

I've now got:
3 different kinds of zoas (yellow, orange and pink)
chunk of rainbow monti
4 headed green candycane
single head of green frogspawn
tiny pink acro
Pink w/green spot chalice frag
large browned out milli, green bird's nest hitchhiker on the base (trying to colour the milli up, it's happy though otherwise)
devil's hand
a few mushrooms and GSP

I set up my Apex and got my 2nd mp40, gotta program the Apex and dial in all my settings. Really happy with the new gear.

Looking good!! I like the tall tanks. My 131 is a tall tank too. I found it a little tuff to aquascape, but they look killer when you do them right.

Keep up the solid work!

I like them as well, when I get a chance I'll do a better job with the aquascaping, I put a couple squares of eggcrate under the 1/3, 2/3 mark so I can build higher without the rock shifting.

I got some aqua gloves when I was moving all the rock (thank god I did, had some badass bristleworms in there) but even they aren't long enough to avoid getting water inside when I reach to the bottom.
