Here goes, hope the sums are ok. Display is 4x2x2 which makes it same as yours 72, sump (this is in mm) 500x600x1000 which is about 44Gallons, total being 116.
Actually, 4' x 2' x 2' = 120g, not 72g. That's a pretty big difference. Give your tank the credit it deserves -- don't short it those 48g! You don't want to hurt it's ego... :)

WOW DUDE! thats sooo nice!
where did you get all the brown? I need to get some.
Im sick of all the greens, purples, reds, blues and oranges in my system, im getting ready to give up! Im thinking its time to sell my skimmer and stop doing water changes every 2 weeks!

Also, howd you get yellow water? did you just add food coloring to it? it looks SOOOO COOL!

PLEASE HELP OUT A NEWB!!!!!

Doh! Can't do my math!
it's a scopas tang, not a purple
Can't even ID my own fish! Always thought there wasn't something right about him.... or.. hang on, that's right, never thought there was something right about me... I'm confused...
what are your stocklist-cant seem to find it in your post
Gee's do you think if I gave you a stock list that you could trust it? Like the way I'm going I'll probably say I had a shark in there as well....Hmm I did at one stage start one (a list).. let me dig around..

Whoa, had to run over that a couple of times, some interesting descriptions you used. Did you ever see that movie "Meet the parents"? well I have two cats... Just kidding. Are you referring to the lights? If so, I am running Metal Halides which may account for your colour description. As for the brown, you mean the corals I suspect, I don't know all the scientific names for them, and hey if I did it would probably be wrong, but I never really thought of it as having a lot of brown. Your tank incidentally looks great, a lot of blue, which I suspect is from actinics or 20k bulbs of some type. You also have some very nice greens, purples, reds.. etc, I wouldn't be complaining it seems very healthy. Rock formations seem really good and I wouldn't see that as a newb tank.

Now that stock list.... I will find it, update it (scopas tang, scopas tang, scopas tang...) and post it up..

Noskimmer, I think you need to turn up your sarcasm alert down there in Sydney. I'm thinking this fellow signed up here simply to bash you and your methods.

Which isn't very nice, really.
