Very nice, I like the aquascape. I just set up my Kraken Reef Lid and AI Prime 16HD.

FYI I see a lot of people getting into this hobby online and I started this thread since I came from google originally and would bet a lot of people do as well. The more info on this tank public the better. If anyone from google sees this don't hesitate to make an account and chip in to the thread. If you have questions or anything you want to share message me!

Update coming soon.
