Welcome, and nice looking setup. Give us the details and info on the system. Looks like a 90 to 110 gallon possibly?

BTW, do the fish like to have little jam sessions.

Nice.. you are the first to notice the guitar amp next to the tank. I have way too many hobbies. I figure like plants, music will make the corals grow faster. Especially the sweet soothing sounds of Jimi Hendrix and SRV.

Ranco temp controller
DIY Kalk reactor
DIY ATO system feeding the kalk reactor
2 - reeflux HQI pendants with 250W XM10K bulbs on Icecap electronic ballasts
2 - 4' UVL Actinics on Icecap ballast
DIY blue LED moonlights

Fish: (names provided by my 8 year old)
Pair of true Percula clowns - Coral/Marlin
Yellow Bluespot Rabbitfish - Sunny
Hippo tang - Jessie
Flametail Dartfish - Ash
