I just thought I would share a few shots of my 90 gallon setup. There is too much stuff in my tank to list...

Thanks for the compliments. A lot of the corals I started the tank with ended up being brown or fleshy in color with my light setup. Yellows, reds, and oranges look great under these lights so I am in the process of replacing a few of those older pieces with some more vibrant colors. I should have started with halides...
Awesome!
I like how you split the rocks into two, making that "valley" in the middle.
How does your Foxface get along with the corals? Or I should say.. how do your corals get along with your Foxface? I know they're considered "not reef safe" but some people have success with them. Just want want to hear about your experience.

I fed the tank with those cubes of frozen shrimp once a day, so the foxface seems to be content with that. I haven't seen him pick at any corals yet.
I went through a few rock setups until I decided on this one. On the left I have vertical tower of reef rock I believe it is called - the fingery type of rock... someone help me out on these names. It has lots of negative space which gives plenty of room for small individual pieces. On the right side I have a pile of larger rocks that I am trying to put some large mats of coral. I want to say they are just lava rocks, but honestly I'm not sure. I bridged them in the middle, and I'm still looking for a longer piece to bridge the piles together at the top. I didn't have to use any putty, but it definatly would have helped. Anytime I have to wedge a new piece into the left side, I notice that it is very loosely held together.
Some colors turned out better than others in my light, so I'm in the process of finding some really vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges to really bring some more color to it.
I used to have a 55g tank in college, but that experiment failed partly to my impatience and partly because the people at the store didn't know what they were talking about. I feel like the guys at my store now are very knowledgable and have helped me out alot in getting this tank started. I am definatly hooked on this hobby and am planning to upgrade to a nice 200+g tank in the near future.
