    Thanks alot, you guys and gals are great here, very welcoming.

    and here is a shot of the sump:

    it drains from the right hand side, runs the back wall of the tank to the left side, flows through, two filter socks, then i have my frag area (tottally empy, except for plugs) and then hits the BK 250, zeo RX, heater, and carbon, then up and out again with an aqua medic OR 6550.

    Great setup....

    Just curious on the zeovit... Ive done a little reading on it. Going zeo the way you are...
    How costly is it? lets say a months worth of dosing different zeo additives.

    How long did it take to get those colonies that size? specifically the montipora capricornis on the far left, but the digitats & acroporas too.8)

    Freekin amazing...
    Simply great balance of really good looking corals
    Well laid out...
    Thats a scarey looking flock of fish but i will bet it adds great movement.
    Way too much work for me , props on the upkeep n dosing plan there... Thumbs way up.
    Gonna watch your vid and see if i see that bunch of yellow darting around that tank!

    Thanks alot, the yellows have settled in quite nicely.

    Thanks Tatted, I would have to say that it costs around $47 dollars a month, based on what I dose currently.

    Thanks Seano, most of these colonies are from my previous tank, which was running for a year and some months.
    The montipora is actually a green turbinaria reniformis, that was one of the first corals I put in my old system. For growth, I am seeing about 1-2mm every 1-2 weeks.

    Thanks, I did take my time thinking of the layout for this tank, its still quite new, the corals need time to grow out.
    sadly the tangs are not in that video, I will have to take another video with the tangs in action, its soo cool when they shoal together.

    Thanks for the comps.

    Also here is a new addition I picked up recently, it also has a pink hystrix growing on the side. :p
