Been a silent member for too long so I'll start with some pics of my tank.
previosly I kept Discus but 12 monthes ago I made the switch to marines & never looked back.
I'm running a 6 footer with a gravity fed fuge ,It started out as a reef tank but running metal haliads
got a bit exspenive so its now fish only with some softies & mushies wich are doing well in day light.
Fish are mosly tangs wich I addad all at the same time & doing realy well.
hope you like my set up..

First one's better - Looks like a big tank. Like the rockwork.

Got any long term plans for the tank?

Welcome to the Site Walker, Thats an impressive rock structure love tangs aswell, I reckon youll need some pretty big softies to fill that tank out.
