Hi Gavin. That looks great i love the angled corners, is it a new tank you have had built and what are the sizes. I think it one of lifes most exciting things when you first set up a new tank, i have just set up a Rena 100 Panorama for some Seahorses and Pipefish i will post some pics when its up and running. Eric :)

It's 72x30x26 (with 24" of water) and was made by Wharf Aquatics.

Sump is 48x17x24 (or something like that).

Fish: Coral Beauty, Bicolor Angel, Yellowtail Angel, 2x Skunk Clowns, Bicolor Blenny, Sixline Wrasse, Wimple Fish, Neon Goby

Inverts: BTA, 2x Cleaner Shrimp, 2x Blood Shrimp, 1x Unidentified Crab (see picture below), Scarlet Hermits, Micro Bluleg Hermits, Astreas, Ceriths, Turbo & Dove Snails, 1x Porcelain and 1x Emerald Crab (or at least I did have before the move but they would have been transferred with the rock and hence no acclimatisation)

Coral: Leathers, mushies, torch, hammer, frogspawn, candycane and acan lordhowensis (my prize buy, £23 from a LFS who thought they were mushrooms)

Hardware: APF600 (soon to be replaced by AM Shorty 5000), 2x OR3500 Returns, HLP4040 closed loop/reefclean, 2x6100 Streams + controller, 3x250W Halide

Hitchhiking crab (who lives in the sump)...

Pair of Blue Chins, beautiful, hope they go well in there and dont eat the shrimps! Your tanks that big I bet you could put a few yellow tangs in there they look good in a shoal.
