Here's a bunch of photos of M.E.Milz's tank (I'm posting them on his behalf)...
I am Mike Milz (i.e., M.E.Milz - posting from home).
First of all, a big thank you to the Cheese for taking the time to post my photos and to post a link for me. I greatly appreciate your help with this. One of these days, I will figure this stuff out and set up a webpage.
And thanks to the rest of you for your comments on my reef tank. The reef tank is an Oceanic 200 reef ready (7'x2'x2') that has been set up since June of last year. However, much of the corals, fish, rock, sand, and crtitters came from 2 smaller tanks.
With a few exceptions, most of the sps corals originated as frags. For example, all of the colonies of yellow/green Bali staghorns originated from 2 small 2" frags that I obtained about 2.5 years ago. The same is true with the purple and green montipora digitatas. Right now, I am concentrating on fragging the rest of the sps colonies so as to safegaurd against any dissaters (I lost a green murlina and most of a purple capricornis to RTN earlier this year).
As for fish, the tank includes:
-flame fairy wrasse (yes, that is what is in the 6th picture)
-male & female wantanabie angles (as of yet, not a mated pair)
-yellow corris wrasse
-rainfordi goby
-elibli angle
-chevron tang
-regal tang
-fang blenny
-wardley's wrasse
-marine betta
-kling fish
By the way, I am moving around the end of this year, and I am now in the planning stages for a new reef and FOWLR dual tank system (i.e., side-by-side tanks with interconnected sumps). As the plans progress, I will be posting them here for comments and suggestions.
Thanks again, Mike Milz

What type and wattage of lights are you using?
My lighting comprises 3x 250 watt 6500K Iwasaki MH bulbs run by a Universal MH Retro kit, and 2x 6' 160 watt VHO actinics run by an Icecap ballast. The lights are mounted in a DIY canopy. I did this because the tank is 7' long, and I wanted to spread the MH's out a little (as compared to a standard 6' fixture).
By the way, I forgot to mention two other fish that are in the tank. A P. Frimandi and a dusky clown. My appoligies to the fish for overlooking them.
