New Here... And Just Started Up My First "Real" Reef Build

[Broadfield]

The amount of detail is crazy! You pulled off the face plates of the pm2 and 1 link so they'd be oriented the same way as the base station!? Amazing

Yes, I removed the top halves of those two modules and then modified them so they could go back on upside down. I really appreciate you noticing the little details. My original plan was to simply remove the sticker and flip it.... but I quickly realized that wasn't happening lol.

Getting excited, a week away. Feels like I have so much to get done before it gets in.

This is a more current FTS from about 3 months ago. I removed about 20% of the rock for a more minimalistic look. I also removed the black film from the back wall. I feel like it gives the appearance of more depth... kind of like you are looking out past a coral reef in the ocean and looking into the abyss. I about forgot to mention that I changed out the lighting for a Giesemann Aurora T5/LED hybrid.

How are you liking the light change?
