Default New 90 Gallon Reef Pics *load warning*

Hey fellow canreefers,

Just thought I would share a recent photoshoot I did of my 90 gallon reef tank. The tank is the combination of two of my older smaller reef tanks, and has been set up in its current state for approximately 2 months. Here are some quick specs, and then, some pics!

Hardware:
-90 gallon
-4 x 65watts Coralife PC
-1 x 55watts T5
-Aquaclear 70
-Deltec MC300 skimmer (yeah you can see its ugly outflow)
-Tunze Nanostream (smallest one)
-Seio 620
-Heater

Livestock:
-Yellow Tang
-Hippo/Regal Tang
-Bellus Angelfish
-2 Bengaii Cardinals
-2 Ocellaris Clownfish
-1 Brazillian Gramma
-1 Lyretail Anthias
-1 Spotted Mandarian Goby
-1 Neon Goby
-2 Green Clown Gobies

Inverts:
-2 Sexy Shrimp
-Coral Banded Shrimp
-Snails, Hermits
-Sand Sifting Starfish


And now, some pictures! Please excuse the quality, I lessend it to ease your download time! Also, I did play around with the color settings on the camera so some pictures turned out a little reddish, but it does help illustrate the real-life colors of some of the corals (especially the red mushrooms). Enjoy!

Beautiful tank Diana...when I first saw that you were taking down the smaller one with all the red shrooms I thought "what a shame" but this is absolutely stunning and all the color of the red shrooms everywhere is beautiful!

Great looking set-up Diana and Raf, I was wondering if you knew the type of cup coral that is..I have the same one but I have never known the name of it.
Thanks,

Kris

The aquascaping is amazing...

Question, how long have you had the BTA?
