Beautiful!!! I am so envious!! My tank went up in April, and I am so far behind you! Well, I have the fish I like, but the corals are still to come....
 
wow. that is a nice tank. do all tanks grow that purple algae in the back over time?
 
WOW!!! This is why I got into this!!! I hope to have my tank set up this way.

Care to share your tips on what equipment you use? (lighting expecially)

I use B-Ionic's 2 Part Calcium Buffer. With that, proper lighting, and some coraline on your live rock you'll get the purple over time. :)

Equipment: 1 Emperor 400 HOB Filter, Aqua C Remora Pro Skimmer with Mag 3 Pump. 2 Ebo Jager 250 Watt Heaters, 2 MaxiJet 1200 & 2 MaxiJet 600 Powerheads. Lighting: 2 110w VHO Bulbs & 48" Sattelite Power Compact Light set.

Tips: I feed on a consistant basis, once every other day. I only dose two things: B-Ionic Calcium Buffer and Kent's Lugols Solution. I also do consistent water changes. 15 Gallons once a week. Only using RO-DI water.

HTH
 
Cool! So the HOB does the trick huh? How are you nitrates? I can't wait to end up with this too. I am a HOB man myself. I just need good lighting, if that's the case, and end up with a nice reef tank with a HOB just like yours. Cool, dude! Thank you for sharing your setup with us!
