Dude your tank is AWSOME!!!
Are you happy with the litermeter?
I am thinking of getting one for auto top off for my 210. This will not be for a little while though because I just picked up a kent wavemaster.
Once again your tank is great
JJ
BTW I sent a PM

Thanks RM!
The power in our lab building went out for four hours today. The corals were all still expanded at noon when I got here. The firefish, however, decided to somehow get in the overflow and travel into the sump. After carefully catching him, he's none worse for the wear. Here are some shots I took today, along with the tank and all related equipment.

Andy, that's cause I stoles it from ya!
It's from ORA, as are all the clams, captively raised. It has nice little blue centers in the spots.
Skylsdale,
here ya go, along with a bad pic of the overflow on the 1" bulkhead. It's just small pieces of black acrylic I glued together, then epoxied to the back wall. You can also see two little acro frags base plating at the bottom left of the pic. I haven't cleaned the glass in a couple weeks.

That's some pretty stunning growth with that LOA retro you have going there--your SPS are looking awesome! I assume color would be a bit better under something else, but you really can't argue that amount of growth for the price of one of those units. Very nice.
My goodness Matt it is looking great. Heck I'd build an entire pico system around that pretty trachyphyllia alone... 
the combined growth of your Tnids and SPS reflects well on the overall system design. BTW I like the Erlenmyer kalkreactor! You can really get an idea of the smallness of this nano and its stocking density with that step-back shot. Its alot to pack in a nano tank and the aquascaping is great--it makes the tank look huge from the frontal shot.

A new addition from about three weeks ago...a Neopetrolisthes sp. anemone crab. He filter feeds from right in front of one of the pump returns. Despite not having an anemone, he seems to be doing OK. The pistol shrimp is not bothering him, and vice versa. Also included pics of a tiny acro frag and the entire tank.

Here ya go, in no particular order. I can't remember the sequence of shots, but there are pics of a green slimer (A. yongei?) newly accquired, a small acro frag that broke off a friends colony and is now growing on the sandbed, some new pics of old acro frags, a pic of all three small maxima clams, a pic of the snails doing "it" and their eggs beneath them, and a pic of the green brain.
Oh yeah, I got a new powerquad pendant with a 50/50 96W bulb, thus the new pics. Hope you like.

That hue from the Powerquad looks a TON better. What brand was it? Did it fit alright over the Eclipse? I just got mine setup in the living room yesterday, and I'm trying to figure out what kinds of equipment will and won't work. Your tank looks almost as scratched up as mine. If you ever need a home for that clam at the top...you just give me a call.
I believe I got it from marinedepot.com...just search under "powerquad pendant", the brand is customsealife. It doesn't exactly fit right over the eclipse. I have a couple glass graduated cylinders holding it up so it doesn't melt the plastic. It looks pretty makeshift, but I don't really care any more. The tank looks like some crazy science experiment anyway, and since it's in a lab room it kind of fits with the motif.
I might be mistaken, but I think the 24W lights that come with the JBJ would probably fit in the eclipse hood. www.ahsupply.com carries retrofit kits and tells you the dimensions of bulbs, etc.
