Looks good. What equipment are you running? For me personally the tank is to white in the lighting department. With some blue your stuff will pop more :)
 
Ok. I have a sump with Auto top off unit believe its a redsea forget the exact model number, 2 fluval 205s with ceramic rings and filter floss and the stock foam filters, an instant oceans skimmer, 4 powerheads 2 maxi 1200s a koralia 650(ithink thats the model) and a maxijet style from marineland. Lighting is a 4 bulb custom setup converted from a 3 bulb. has 1 24inch 50/50 at 25w 1 actinic 36in at 25 w and 2 24in 10k daylight bulbs the bulbs do need to be replaced and I plan on getting them asap. I dose with caribsea purple up, and kent marine microvert.
 
any suggestions/advice is welcome.
Good cleaning of some of the algae, and turn the rock all the way to the left side ways, then take one of the pieces laying on bottom and make a archway with the one to the right of it <-- the rock you turned lol.

Thats just me it looks good though!
 
there are two archs actually but you cant really tell bc i got some new corals and kinda haphazardly put them in the tank(they are from a trusted source str8 from his tank to mine) plan on fixing that up tomorrow.
 
The tank is looking good. I think a black background will help make the tank POP. :)
 
i have thought of using a background, but the tank is in view of 3 windows that get great sunlight all day, so i feel like using a background would decrease that great sunlight i utilize. as of now i run my lights from 2pm-730pm because of the sunlight coming through the windows. Im almost thinking of building a stand so it can sit in the windowsill need to add about 1foot to the sill and it would be sweet, almost look built in. its an apartment tho so gotta see if the landlord is ok with that.
 
I would agree that too much yellow/white in your lighting. Put a little more blue in and your corals will show off their better colors.
 
Looking good bro!
 
thanks feels really good to hear, im actually going to do a little aquascaping right now and will try and get some pics up before too long.
 
new pics, these are taken under actinic and 50/50 only, i did use flash from camera on some that will be added but still trying to figure out the best combo for lighting and taking pics.
