Very nice, man!

You going to put a background on that so your coral can stand out better?  Maybe just get some of that 20% window tint that you can remove, or something.

Gorgeous tank, nonetheless! ;)

looks great. one concern thou. in the first pic there are a few corals in very close proximity. if that brain coral frag is anything like my brain coral it has long sweeper tenticles that come out at night and might harm the other corals close by. i give mine a good 3 inches in every direction.

Nice! like was said before very spotless and everything looks good......+1 to Matt for the caution on the corals close by.

no the brain coral, has no tentacles, no idea why, but it doesnt.

it looks to be partially dead or at least not in good shape. i had a frag like that and now its got a ton of tenticles and is incrusting on the frag plug and making new heads. this coral can do serious damage to other corals. it will turn that mushroom to goo when it comes alive. try looking at the coral after lights out.
