About 4 Months running
Here is a shot at about 4 months running. When I set up the tank....I took a lot from a 29 Gal Bio Cube I had set up. I also saved what was a very unhealthy LT Nem. It was shrivled and bleached out... You will see it on the lower right. Watch how this thing colors up and grows.

Tank at 1 Year Old
I guess this is a bit of a milestone. The tank is a year old and seems to be thriving. I had to sell my LT Nem....it just was taking over the tank. As a result...I also removed an "in-tank" refugium ... if you will....that I had been growing in the upper left hand corner.
Thought the macros provided a lot of pods etc...the macro was not the type the tanks or angels would eat...and it was really invasive. So...I got rid of it..and a couple of rocks.
I was able to re-introduce me hairy mushroom rock in its place and have added some frags.
So...even after a year...things are a changing... and plan to do so for a while.

Thanks Kimmie and Jeff! I appreciate the comments. This is the largest tank that I have had and it has progressed nicely. Of course.... I am already keeping an eye out for another big tank...just don't tell my wife.
I have two other tanks which I will set up a thread or two around; a 29 Gal Oceanic BioCube Seahorse Tank and an 8 gal BioCube nano. More to come.

A video of the tank at 11 weeks
First off....sorry for the poor selection of the canned music for the video.
Anyway, I was playing with my FlipCam and was able to get on ok video. As I look back at this video....one of the items that amazes me is the growth of the pink monti..... You see it now and it is in the center of the tank...and just has flourished.
Enjoy.

Pics of my 72 Bow Front
I realized I had not posted any pictures in a while. I am starting to consider upgrading the tank to something a little larger.... like a 180. I am also thinking of adding a tank and working towards an SPS dominant one... We will see. I all takes... a lot of money and a lot of time.....
Anyway, here are some recent shots.

@smitty - I have had no issue with my Flame. He has no bad habits that I have witnessed. Of course....no sooner do I say that....he will chow down on something.
I have a bi-color damsel fish...and the thing is a terror. So, I think between the two of them....they are in check all of the time. So there is never enough idle time for them to start bad habits.
