I was recently awarded Tank of the month for January 2012 over on Ultimate Reef. The article I wrote is here (http://www.ultimatereef.com/TOTM/2012_january/) if anyone wants some more information.

[Big_Al]

I love shallow reef tanks. My main display is exactly those dimensions. Yours looks great.

[REEF SMAC]

Bravo!

You've done an amazing job for only one years time. :thumbsup:

[cheWee608]

Nice tank! I love the dimensions. I want one. Where did you get it and who manufactured it? I love the 60 inch tanks! I actually own a 60x18x24 made by truvu but want a shallower tank.

[mark54321]

Great tank! I love the progress shots.

[SKremk]

[EllieSuz]

Very nice tank. Do you mind posting your routine/dosing and what not. Also what color bulbs do you run? Thank You

[jc-reef]

[chefzif]

Congrats! and looks good for the first year! Keep us posted! Chef!

[Sidefunk]

Wow. Its really cool to see what kind of growth can be achieved in a year's time. Wish i knew how to grow corals like that. Been thinking about dosing lately, now I really think I want to start looking into it more seriously. Would be great to know what you do.

Wow, gorgeous tank and very impressive for only a year! Great colors also!
