I like the aquascape, very nice. What kind of corals are those on the top? SPS? Specs?

they are some type of plants they were on the live rock i dont know what kind it is maybe somewone could id them they grow slow i was going to trim them back soon.

Have you considered adding a background? What eqiupment are you using?

was planning on adding more pieces to the left side to hide the back some more and as the colt coral grows it will cover the right side hopefully im taking it slow and not trying to add to much to fast..as for equipment current usa 130w pc,a via aqua hob skimmer 500 gal. per hour and a aqua clear 300 no power heads the 2 hob filters seem to be plenty flow...was thinking of adding a fuge to the via aqua hob the area where the filter was is very large and would make a good fuge but so far my tank is algae free..
