Very healthy/natural looking mike! the Macros add a nice touch...Your tangs keeping the macro levels in check fairly well?

[Reefland]

The pictures look very nice indeed!

What type of lighting are you using? You site says 2 Bluelines but it looks like your using one on the right and an Iwasaki on the left.

Thanks guys,
yep - definitely need to update my site!

I cracked a blueline bulb during a water change. A drop of water hit the bulb and cracked it(the bulb's still intact, just has a hairline crack on the outer envelope but I'm scared to continue using it). In the interim, I'm using an old 5k bulb that was left over from a retro kit on the left side. I really, really like the look of the 10k lights but am considering the benefits of the full spectrum Iwasaki's...

Scuba - the dang tang doesn't touch the caulerpa. Unfortunately I have to crop it by hand, which is quite a chore. The macro's do wonders for the water quality though, so it's a love/hate relationship.

I'd also like to point out that a LOT of the rock is terristerial, calcium based rock - specifically limestone and tufa. Very inexpensive way to build a nice reef. More ecologically sound too. It's very hard to tell which is which even looking at the tank up close (esp. the tufa, it grows coraline like crazy). Ok, I'll get offa my soapbox now. ;)
