Aquarium Advice Addict
i'm always referring to this tank so i thought i might post a few pics. it's very hard to take pictures of this tank and it's inhabitants because the lighting in that area of the gym is terrible. it's either that, or user error 
anyway, the tank is a standard 150, and the sump is a standard 55. i pieced everything together mostly with stuff i had laying around the house, since the gym owner gave me full reign to do so, but limited funds.
originally he had a 48" 2 x 150 watt hqi fixture over the tank and it was clearly insufficient, so i added a few pendants. now, it's got a 150 and 175 watt pendant over one side, and a 250 watt pendant over the other.
the folks that view this tank don't notice the lighting difference, but i do.
i tried talking him into new lighting, but he's not going for it.
when i aquascaped the tank i drilled the rock with a masonry bit and used acrylic rods to make 2 rock towers, and built off of them.
here is the entire photo album-

and i'll just post a few randoms i've taken from time to time-
a fts from october
shrimp and frogspawn
green sinularia leather
seemingly healthy and as of yet, non-coral nipping copperband-
hitch hiker urchin came in about the size of a marble and is now the diameter of a coke can, give or take-
acan maxima (on loan from me...this will be coming to my next tank)
blue rics-
