You've got a solid base for a great tank, I'd add some ricordeas personally for colour, but that's just me. It looks really nice and clean!

Cheers,

Nice looking tank. I see you are using a Coral Life 65g skimmer HOB. I'm not sure but it looks like you have considerable micro bubbles in the display. Coral Life Skimmers are known for producing micro bubbles in the tank. One way you could try to reduce them is by raising the entire skimmer, this makes it somewhat unstable and the tube supplied may not reach the "in tank" diffuser. I have found that if the bottom of the skimmer unit sits 7 inches below the displays water line, bubbles produced by the skimmer are reduced considerably. Just thought I would pass on my experience. I think your display and rock work are great.

that was the first day it was set up. There are no more micro bubbles or very few. I'll take another picture today for an updated full tank picture.
