So I took Mike's advice and moved the mp10's to the backwall....viewing is so much better now. Cleaned the glass and took some pics of the tank.

It is always something, isn't it? I have saved some acans with BJD by removing them to a container with tank water, gently blowing/sectioning off the BJ and then giving them an iodine dip. Worth a try for such a beautiful coral.

Dig this tank! Sorry to hear about the brown jelly.

Any stand/sump pics?

Piccasso Clowns

 

I sold my wyoming whites and platinum clowns and tonight I picked up a pair of piccaso clowns. They are probably just shy of 2" in length. Owner had them since they were probably quarter of an inch. As soon as they were acclimated they went straight for the flame anemone :lol:

Looking good! I like how much surface area you have in this shallow tank and how you 'scaped it with four separate islands. The corridor through middle from both the front and sides make for very interesting viewing angles (I'm sure for the fish, too).

Are you still happy with the system you built, one year in? It's a really nice design. How has the low profile overflow worked out?

yes, very happy...and the overflow works well. I really liek the low profile, doesnt take up a lot of space in the tank :)
