More details please, how long has it been running? Equipment list? Size of tank? You cant just tease with a couple of pics and then go all quite :P :D

It looks nice and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see more pictures :P

My photographic skills are rubbish which is why MrFishy posted these, I don't have anymore at the mo, he is putting shots on a disc for me.

Its a narrow tank to sit snugly in an alcove so here goes..

72x15x24 with a 48x15x15 sump.

It has been running for 5 years but had a massive wipeout in April so this is actually freshly restocked, In light of that 2 months old, taken the opportunity to go SPS but still have a few zoas and ricordias left and a couple softies

Lights : 2 x 250w Reflux 10 000K with 2 x 54 actinics 3 x clusters of 7 blue Led's for night
Skimmer : Aqua Medic Turbo flotor Multi SL 1000 with purigen in outlet chamber
Powerheads : 3 x Hydor Koralina 4's (about 4300lph each)
Phosphate reactor : Magnavore simplicity with Seachem Po4 remover
Calcium Reactor : TMC 1500
Sander C100 ozone generator
IKS Aquastar computer running the lights, Ca reactor and temp
Turnover through sump 2500 lph, which houses LR rubble, DSB, Chaeto and section to add carbon etc

Think thats it hardware related at the moment

Tests yesterday were

Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Nitrate 0.2
Po4 0
DkH 8
Magnesium 1400
Calcium 470
PH 8.3
Salinity 1.025

Thanks for looking

Also the 6 frags on the sand came from Quigs last night, placed there overnight to settle in while I decided where to put them, now milliputted in place.

Just need to address the lack of fish now, including a copperband to work on my aiptasia problem!

Nice tank Bobba, the first photo makes the tank look higher than 24" due to the angle of the photo, I thought it was at least 30" until I saw your specs.
