thanks for the welcome and the kind words
the sofa is a u shape so it's all good 8)
details - hmmmmmmm here's the short list
custom made acrylic bowfront, about 500 gal
it's on a powdercoated stand
5 400 watt mh 8 65 watt actinics
about 900# live rock
custom made wooden surround to frame...
sounds like the set up is fairly new
having brown diatom algae blooms is normal in a newly set up tank
just keep wiping them and stick to your water change routine for now and they will go away by themselves
good luck
hi - i'm new
nice place you have here
it'll take a while to absorb it all
in the meantime here's a pic of a reef aquarium i care for - it's about 500 gallons
cheers
