    Really nice tank. I love the colors and the minimalist look of it. I love the overflow on the end of the tank. Makes me regret my corner overflow!

    Can you tell us the details of the powerheads? You don't seem to be running a lot.

    Also, how much live rock do you have in there?

    Great tank!

    I love the external overflow, in the previous tank i had kept one internal, and it was a pain. The powerheads are 3 vortech mp40s. Two are well hidden in the overflow, using a false wall. When me and Concept Aquariums met to go over details about the new build that one was thought, it has worked awesome, they draw water from the bottom and then the pumps are postioned at the top. The far left side of the tank is the only visible powerhead, and they are all running at full speed. 3000gph.

    The weight of the live rock is unknown, but its maybe around 40kg or 50kg.

    Thanks Steve.

    Hey everyone, abit of an update. so I have been busy with the tank the last few days.
    I did something that I thought I would never do, i got a CLAM, me and clams dont have the best relationship, so when one came avaible through another reefer who was living in the same building as me, I thought to give it a try.
    Its mounted up high on a rock and off the sand bed in hopes that SPS will kinda crowd it as they both grow, well see what happens
    afews other made the tank this past weekend as well.
    monitipora nodosa
    green caulastrea
    kinda blue green millepora, its still to new to tell which way it will go
    crayloa tabletop, which I think is going to go staight green, which would be cool. I have pics, and that one too is dark, but give it two weeks in zeo and well see.
    tested the p04 tonight and its down to zero, which I am very pleased as the new tangs have been getting fed everytime I pass the tank.
    Kh dosing is 25g and 34g per night.
    Ca is a steady go between 42g and 28g per morning.
    I am still doing it manually.
    ok pictures.
    you can kinda see half the clam in this one, as well the nodosa and the cauly

    Hey John, just saw your tank thread. everytime I see new pics it's getting better, when those corals grow out like your other tank it will be sick!. Glad you decided to come over here.
