Ace25's 75G Build Thread

As always, I love the tank, inhabitants and pics. No need to apologize, keep 'em coming :) It looks more and more incredible every time I see it.
 
Well unfortunately these are probably going to be the last pics for about a month. I have to tear down the tank on Tuesday due to a small leak and have to get it resealed from the Mfg. Luckly I have some good friends in the local reef club and I am getting on loan a 72G bowfront with 2x150w+actinic light, stand, and sump. The person just upgraded to a bigger tank and was going to setup the 72G as a predator tank but is letting me borrow it until I get my tank back. I will also setup my old 29G again and put my prized SPS corals in that tank on a frag rack under 6x10k T5HO's which should be around the same lighting they are getting now. I feel that is a good short term solution for my corals and the bowfront will be fine for my fish.
 
all your photos are stunning. I have never seen an engineer goby with the same coloring - looks wonderful. Impressive tank!
 
Thanks, ya, the engineer is getting to be an old man now. I bought him 5-6 years ago now thinking he was really cool looking with his racing stripes. Little did I know he would grow to be 12" long.

Here he is as a baby when I was first getting into reef tanks. The scolymia in the picture was my first LPS coral.

Hey Ace, I like shutter bugs! What better way to show off things than with a photo? These are cool photos!! I wish I could drill this tank and hide everything like you did.
 
So can anyone identify this little brown fuzzy thing that is in the mouth of my pinkspot goby? It has been there for about a month now. Doesn't appear to affect his feeding but I thought it would fall off or get eaten by now.

Oh, and here are 3 new FTS, full tank/stand/canopy, front, and left side. Hard to get a good picture of the stand with the MH light on. Either the tank is completely white and you can make out the detail in the stand, or you get the aquarium and a very dark stand in the picture.
