Looks AWESOME, Justin!

I had no idea a WAMAS member had a National Aquarium sized tank in their home! Way cool!!!

You should have tours and visitors to educate and inspire people :idea:

 

Can't wait for recent pics and updates. Also, What is your filtration like? How big is the SUMP? I remember seeing a giant Protein Skimmer from back in 2008...

Not much to update, sadly- tank is in need of re-aquascaping and general rebooting. All fish are healthy, too healthy at times, as all of my large angels have eaten through most of the remaining coral. I have some ideas on turning it into a NPS tank, maybe that will happen this fall or winter. Right now it is basically a FOWLRSPG (fish only with live rock, star polyps, and gorgonians).

Nothing wrong with that! Healthy fat fish are cool too. Show those fish off! What kind of angels?

Keep your chin up, Justin. In this hobby our attention tends to wax and wane, especially when you have a little baby that takes all your attention. For example, I used to keep a thousand lilies in my garden in well tended beds. Since my twins were born (5 years ago) the beds have become so overgrown with weeds that I probably couldn't find 50 lilies still living.

 

This is just my way of saying that you're not alone. You will come up with a new level of interest when you have the time, and there are a lot of people here who would like to help you out.

Added a few fish.  Also managed to add some bryopsis.  I figured I'd post this video as I will likely be tearing things apart again this summer to redo the aquascape yet again.

Thanks everyone :)

Let's hope they are all still swimming by the end of next week. First major unattended test of the frozen autofeeder.

I was hoping the frozen auto feeder was part of this! Great looking tank with lots of movement.
