Pics of my 450 - graphic intensive.
Here's a couple of pics of my 450 gallon tank that I took last week. The tank is 96"L x 36"W x 30"H. It is a "peninsula" tank as it is viewable from 3 sides with one short side against the wall. The pics are large, so i appologize in advance to anyone who gets anoyed. They are in order as if you were walking around the tank from front to back.
The first pic is the "front" of the tank
The next pic is the "front" of the reef viewed lengthwise from the short side of the tank
The next pic is the "back" of the reef viewed from the short side of the tank
The last pic is the "back" of the reef
Unfortunately I forgot to turn of the lights on my prop tanks, so you can see some reflections on the "back" side. Oh well. Hope you enjoy.

That's great Andy. Aren't the males beautiful. I was amazed at the coloration on mine. The pics on liveaquaria's website do not do them justice. How do the new ones complare in coloration to the other ones that you got?
Reeftanktime, I'm usually around on the weekends. If you want to swing by sometime just PM me. I think I am also hosting the TCMAS June meeting if you can make it to that.

From someone who has seen his tank, I can say the pictures don't do it justice. I have not seen it in a while but it is a very nice looking tank.

Can you send some pics of your setup ?? Also, hope you dont plan on moving anytime soon. That would suck to move it all. Screw going on vacation, just dive in your tank
