Wow, looks great. Amazing to have all the rock and corals in a hex tank.

That's pretty nice. Something you don't normally see. How long have you had it up and running?

THANK YOU!
I've only had this setup since April of this year. Its actually one large piece of live rock with corals individually setup throughout the tank. I'm running an aquaclear 70 hang on the back filter with 2 powerheads a 100w heater. LED's running up above
1 clownfish
2 green/blue chromis
1 leopard wrasse
20 hermit crabs/snails
3 peppermint shrimp
2 emerald crabs
and too many corals to list...lol
I just trimmed back my pulsing xenia so next time it starts to get out of control again I'll offer it for trade. Thanks for looking

Looks awsome. You don't see many hex reef's but I've always liked them.
My first reef back in '90 was a 45G hex. Had it for years and really liked it. But I had to move and upgrade.

if your just looking to upgrade, I know(and so does reefer) someone who has a bunch to choose from, But I don't think he has any bow fronts.

Yes I agree with dwolson. If you want a nice tank for a decent price let me know and I will get you the contact info via pm. This guy has got a ton of stuff. And I don't think he has a bow front. I will ask.

awesome thanks guys.... i'm pretty much looking for a full setup. i've found a couple of great steals on craigslist, but now its just a matter of getting the funds together. There was a 200 gal bowfront that was calling my name at the tone of $800 and i regretfully turned it down. Just saw it on craigslist the other day for $2000

yeah it was an amazing deal! everything included already up and running. only problem is that i live on the second floor of an apt building and wouldn't want to fall through the floor. lmao. i'm open to other builds, but mostly have my eyes set on a bowfront
