Here are some tank shots. I'm only posting these on the condition that no one here is allowed to laugh at my photography skills:

Can't remember what this one is called but I have already seen some growth out of it:

Got this beauty from another canreefer (thanks for the trade Ron!):

Sunny Yellow Zoas:

Got this one free (lol wonder why? I still like it, it was one of my firsts ):

Delightful Palythoa from Australia:

Candy Cane Coral:

Eagle Eye zoas and radioactive green zoas:

By the way after seeing two radions placed lengthwise on the 180 I will not be buying a third one. For the minimal amount of shadowing that can be seen on this tank in person (pictures display it much more), there is no need IMO. Unless I win the lottery and have money to burn or I decide to get serious with SPS I'm not going to be buying another one.

Sooo glad I just saved myself $800+ and didn't bite the bullet and buy two more.

And I hope that is that last piece of equipment that I will need for this tank.
Lord knows I've spent enough on it already

Now it's time to sit back and enjoy and watch the corals grow

You could have saved $1100, not $800 if you didn't buy that junky wavemaker. Believe me, I feel your pain.
