    Here is a tricolor Valida, I got it when it was COMPLETELY brown and like 1", it is now larger branching and turning dark purple.... I have a crappy camera and have no photographic skills but believe me it is a BRILIANT purple!

    Here is a oddity, it is BY FAR the FASTEST grower, it has noticable growth every morning, BUT the odd thing is the light turned it from blue to grey. I'm surprised that it doesn't get its color back since it is doing so well....

    Whoops, the last two posts got doubled some how. The german blue is in the second post.
    Missionsix, yes it is a u overflow. I got the tank standard w/ no holes so I had to do what I had to do.
    The pics are bad but I will work on more and try to get BETTER ones as well. Like I before this tank isn't even a month old yet so be kind! :) Also as you can all see I am not happy with the wall of rocks but thats life sometimes!!
    Until later...
    Happy reefing!!

    A long time ago I made one of those U-tube a little safer by adding a nipple to the top of the U. Then you can add an aqualifter for a little added safety. I had one flood my system on me. Just a thought.

    Tank looks great Frag! I like the layout. Out of curiosity, why did you opt for all the flow going toward the front? Never thought of it but will keep it in mind for the future.
