OK, here goes:
Flash on, tank setup. The cooler with the skimmer on top is off to the right side.

No flash, left side. There are five fish in this shot. The clowns are in pulsing Xenia, the polyps close and open suddenly about once a second. The pineapple looking coral started out as a dead chunk of rock.

No flash, right side. Pseudochromis fish, 6 year old maximus clam, porites coral that appeared from dead rock and then grew huge, hammer coral that was a LFS dieing castoff deal, cool red mushrooms, etc.

Along the bottom are a lot of small brown anemones called majano that are major pests. Nothing eats them that wouldn't eat the rest of the tank. They have to be picked out by hand. A good way to find bristle worms.

No flash, Sailfin Tang. This fish was an inch long triangle when we got it. It has amazing control of it's pattern, like contrast and tint controls.

Last picture, with flash. Under the tank.
Calcium reactor, chiller controller, 2x400w HID ballast with timer on the wall, the other side is a 25 gal refugium divided into three parts. The left side (can't see) has the main recirc pump and the reactor pump, the center is the part with live rock and the heaters, also live sand, the right side has the skimmer pump. The light for it doesn't show in the flash.
