Awesome build! I know what you mean when you say it's hard to take pictures. Taking pictures with a cell phone is difficult. We have the same tank and similar two island style aquascaping too. I'll definitely be following your build!

Thank you. I really love the tank. It's funny looking back through the thread and seeing the pictures from a while back (though the new ones aren't much better). All are from my cell phone. Do you have a build thread?

It's an awesome tank, only problem is Deep Blue has an odd sense of humor when it comes to the size of the overflow and low cut weirs. This was my second tank, and one of my faves.
Been following the build since you started, loving all the zoas, and slow steady progression, nice updates!

I agree with the overflow on the deep blue not being the best set up and far too big. Luckily mine is the old oceanic so the overflow box isn't quite as big. Thank you for following along. I'm very happy with how things are turning out. I'm glad I stuck to my plan and only added things that I really wanted to add and not just everything I "thought" I wanted if that makes any sense. Thanks again for following!

Oh yeah, perfect sense. I'm about to follow suit, except with a dsa 105. Look forward to watching it grow!

Thanks man. I keep moving the Rastas back further and further. They're on a pretty good sized disc so they haven't grown on to the rock yet. Almost time for me to find a new spot for them though.

Took a couple quick cell pictures during my water change tonight. They're a bit on the blue side because I did my water change late tonight. Lighting is 2 blue+ and reefbrite.
All seems well with the tank besides a little bryposis starting to pop up. Work has been crazy the past few weeks so I haven't been as on top of things as I usually am. Trying to keep it under control. Sps seems to be starting to really grow lately which is great. Thanks for looking.
