Looks like you're off to a very good start indeed! The scape is a bit too "minimalistic" for my taste though, looks somewhat empty! Are you planning on adding more rocks?

Anyhow, that takes nothing away from your efforts, only personal preference! Well done and thanks for sharing this with us!

Happy reefing!

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it. Yes, I actually agree with you. The scape is a bit empty and I have been meaning to put more rock work in the middle of the tank to fill in the gap but just haven’t got to it yet. Still in process.

So it took me a little while, but I finally decided to add some new rock work to the tank. Bought some Caribsea Shelf Rock and made a rock wall with some ledges out of it. Just put it in today. It feels in the middle space that was empty. What do you all think?

Hello everybody. I just wanted to give an update on my build thread. I decided to remove two of the T fives in the center of my canopy and replace them with some rails and LED black boxes. Also, I added one Kessel in the center. Looks great. Blending the LEDs with T fives brings a great blue hue with a bit of white mixed in so the color of the fish are not completely washed out.
