    You should list out some of the specs of your tank....size, lighting, filtration, water movment, how much rock/sand? stuff like that.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It looks very nice.

    Type of lighting please, you might like some or an bulb that provide a bluer tint to the tank.

    I like the over all scape and tank, but it does have a yellowish tint. I imagine that is probably the bulbs or type of fixture.

    What type of tank do you like? Corals, mixed reef.......

    so excited that everyone likes the rocks it took forever to set it up :cheesy:. it only looks yellow when i have the t5's on but i also have LED's that can support coral. i have the t5's on so if i need them later the fish dont get shocked by how bright it gets. also just switched wet/dry to refugium so a little algae growth has not been cleaned but the water is clean now. I want my tank to become a nice reef tank with plenty of variety. by the way it is a 125 gal tank to sky is the limit but need some suggestions for what to do next, thanks

    It looks good how it is, but if you're looking for criticism, I'll nit pick. ;D

    I would remove the piece of holey rock and replace with LR. It doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the rock.

    You could paint the back, but it looks like you want it to be viewed from both sides. If that's the case, I would try to stack your rock right down the middle of the tank so you can enjoy it from both sides.

    Once again, I'm just nit picking, tank looks good. :thumbs_up
