Heres a few pics of my 46G Bowfront. After ripping off the center brace, I reinforced it with a clear piece of acrylic. Now I don't have anymore shadows to deal with. Thanks to everyone on the boards for putting out such a good product at a great price. Enjoy..

Nice looking tank.

That green hydno also had a make-over ;) :D

Also make sure that it is stable and not fall over. That thing will demolish anything in its path.

How is the Goniopora taking the clown hosting in it?

My clowns loved my Goniopora so much that they "loved" it to death :(

Looking really good Jeff. How's that sump coming along?

[DaChrisDude]

Very nice jeff!

Nice selection of livestock, and I like the openness of the tank.

haha.. yea i think thats why they call it the Devil's Hand. That guy originally came from Rich (Cruzer).

Phong - I already caught that guy stinging my frogspawn. Its pretty stable and has some direct current going towards it from the MJ1200. Keeps it "hairy".

Drew - no sump yet. the setup i have right now works. I don't really want to change anything up. Right now I am just sitting and watching everything grow.

Chris - Thanks man. All I am missing is a clam. Got one you can spare!!?? j/k =P

Ivan - The one perc even sleeps in it. No problems. So far so good.

Thanks again for all the comments.. I'll try to get a good video up so you can see the current caused by the wavemaker (chauvet - thanks Minh)

Thanks Ron, you know it even gets bigger than the picture I have. It came from Eric's tank. I had to give Eric all of my SPS, without a calcium reactor in my tank, let alone probably a little more lighting, they weren't doing so well. I'll keep you posted on his pink birdsnest.
