Hey Andrew,
Looks like a really solid start there, I like the placement of live rock on the right side. Is that red weed looking stuff a type of macro algae?
I notice that you're using ATI T5 bulbs; how do you find the colour with your combination of tubes? Is it that blue in real life or do the photos make it a fair bit bluer?

Hah, just realised this thread is years old, any updates on this one?
