    The tank looks great! I love the simple but nice set up. The SPS all have such a nice color, loving the fish too!

    Thank you, I look out all of the sand over a period of three weeks and removed my acans from the rocks. I have them on the bare bottom with the vision of them growing out and completely covering the bottom.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is what is changed. Something looks different. Where will the wrasses sleep?

    Your vision of an Acan bottom sounds awesome, that will be something to see.

    Only the Melanurus wrasse needs a sanded, I left sand behind the rocks so it can sleep.

    I removed both Ecotech Vortech MP-40w's and replaced them with one Jebao WP-60 and all I can say is WOW! The Vortech's were too noisy and I have sent them back twice for repair but I finally threw in the towel with these pumps and gave the Jebao a try. The flow from one WP-60 is better than both MP-40's and the wave setting on the Jebao is superb, I could never create a wave in my 120 gallon with two MP-40's no matter what I tried. I purchased two Jebao WP-60's but one is more than enough for my tank needs, the second one will be my backup :) The Jebao is more quiet than the Vortech but it also takes up much more real estate in the tank.

    Interesting to know about the Jebao. I agree about the Vortech's noise. In our small living room they are a constant distraction when in reef crest mode. Love the tank!

    Most of the sand has been siphoned out :)

    How often do you feed the acans and what do you feed them? Also, what camera / lens do you use for your pics? They are stunning!
