Here is my tank I had built a few months ago by Vincent from Aquarium Artist. It's 4 x 2 x 2 foot, low iron glass on three sides with internal overflow. MP40 for flow, Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper running everything. The lighting fixture was an Aquatraders I stripped out and is now LED. All Cree, 24 neutral white, 24 royal blue, 12 blue and 12 405nm uv/violet run by meanwell drivers. As an experiment I pulled the skimmer and I'm running an algae scrubber also using Cree LEDs (6 red and 1 blue per side). Most of the corals came from Golden Octopus and fish from Coral Farm. A Purple Tang is the center piece fish (LCK201). Vincent did a great job building the tank to my specs with the overflow set up herbie style with a gate valve at the bottom of the drain. Silicone job was perfect. My LPS is growing great and I plan on getting a few pieces of SPS shortly. I just moved here in January and the forum has been a great help finding the local fish/coral stores and my tank builder.

Thanks for the compliments. I moved here with the stand and another tank. Since I was starting the tank over I decided to buy a rimless with low iron glass and got ahold of Aquarium Artist. The glass is 12mm. The clarity of the second pic is probably a combination of the glass clarity, the camera on a tripod and getting a good white balance setting with the camera. Here are a few more close up pics.
