Your tank looks great
Just wondering why you chose to set it up in the way you did. Most people like a natural looking reef while you chose more to display the corals in almost a retail like fashion. Just curious not saying its bad.

Awesome stuff Marvin! You have primo pieces in there. Only thing that I can think of to improve your display would be to get a little more height from a few corals. Perhaps a couple SPS like stags or birdsnests, or maybe even a few gorgs Keep up the good work and great pics btw :)

Thanks for the feedback... plans for a frag tank is already under way... finally, I have a place where I can store the corals I don't want in the main tank... I'll also be able to get rid of the frag racks... looking forward to the day of moving corals there... frag tank will be about 45g (48" x 18" x 12")... :)

btw, I already added some sticks and are in place as of a few days ago... ;)
