Well, not much going on. Here are some pics though.
My current stock list is:
3 Bartlet Anthias
4 Disbar Anthias
1 Chevron Tang
1 Melanarus Wrasse
1 Yasha Goby w/ pistol shrimp friend
1 Coral Banded shrimp
Coral is very light at this point:
1 green w/ purple tip hammer
1 Red Planet frag
1 Sunny D zoa
I only have 2 Reef Brite strips over the tank. 1 50/50 tech and 1 XHO Blue. I am thinking about an XHO 50/50 to either replace the current, or just add to. I'm going to try a lot lower light than others. If it grows, awesome. If not, oh well.

Ok, so I'm thinking of a way to silence the overflow, and maybe open up the back of the tank a little. What do you guys think of taking out the 2 built in overflows and doing a coast-2-coast overflow with a bean animal drain setup? I'm thinking it would probably take me about 2 weeks once I took the tank down. The rocks would probably be fine in a trash can with a heater and power head. The fish may need more room though, so that might be an issue.
The advantages would be much better surface skimming, silent drains, and more space in the tank for aquascaping.
Downsides would be taking the tank all the way down, keeping the rock and fish alive, and actually getting everything done in 2 weeks.
I've thought about some changes to the stand, so that would be a good thing to get done at the same time.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

I'm with Ghosty in that it would be awesome to see it done.
That said, I'll cast a "no" vote. Tank looks great...as my grandpa used to say, if it ain't broken don't try to fix it (and you may stress or kill everyone). Instead I would sit back and enjoy it. You should be able to silence the overflow by adjusting valves or adding height to the durso.
