Let me have the first privilege to say your tank looks "AMAZING" and welcome to R2R.

And who say you those pics are bad....looks bad-butt to me lol. Again, beautiful setup.

Would love to see some pics of your sump. Sometime, seeing the mechanical behind the wheel is more fun. Maybe, just me...I know I'm weird

i will be adding more throughout the next few days/weeks

Where have I been.

I have never heard of the WWC Masterpiece.

Looks like I'll be adding this to my ever growing list of rainbow chalices.

I can second that one. I would say 90% of the corals in my tank are from him. His setup is the best I have seen today and the cleanest by far!

ive had the privledge of seeing most all of the rainbows in person, imo that one is the best.
