    I love your aquascape! looks great! I think I may have just purchased one of the same LED lights you are using. Not sure though. How are they working out for you?

    Thank you! As far as the lights go, too early to tell. Definitely an improvement over the 600W of PC lighting, but not enough time to tell how corals are/will do. I have a good mix though (Acros, Montis, Birdsnest, Milleporas, Euphyllias, Chalices, Trachyphyllia, Fungia, Favia, Acans, Zoas, Ricordeas, etc), so I should be able to get some good before and afters over the next few months :)

    Looking good Marshall, I like the change very much. How do you like it?

    More choices for corals placement too, tons of them.

    I actually do really like it! It definitely opened up coral placement options as you said. I tried to minimize how much I disturbed, which worked out pretty well. I also moved my powerheads and where they aim. Seems to be working very good for all of the corals so far.

    I'm really loving the scape as well! Lots of little caves and more places for coral :)

    Overall much better, but I am/was a bit partial to the two island look. :p

    But I'd stick with what you have over what you had. :D

    I just can't please everyone :cry:

    I hear you though. I wanted to do two islands, but I don't think there is anyway I could have made it look decent in a 125. A 180 would be a different story though. I am definitely happy with it.
