Amazing tank

Congratulations. It's wonderful.

Congrats on TOTM.
Your tank is an inspiration.

Outstanding. An inspiration. I look forward to reading about your system.

Ferdinando, what great looking tank! It is very inspiring how someone can make their tank look so much like the real thing!

complimenti Ferdinando! Vedi, anche noi italiani possiamo fare :-)

Looks amazing!

Thanks guys!

Very beautiful system with amazing coral growth. Good work! One question for you. I see you have an obligate corallivore in your tank, but you also have a large amount of very dense coral growth. I was wondering if you ever see any significant damage to your corals from your filefish? Or is there enough coral in that tank to keep him full and happy that the damage gets spread around? Thanks!

thanks!
the oxymonacanthus longirostris has never created major damage corals ............... maybe because he has plenty of food available

beautiful sps, I hope I can do something like this one day

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!

Your tank is the exact same dimensions as mine and I must say it is incredible!

I think this tank qualifies as the best TOTM of all time! Seriously!

Congratulations from Panama !!
beautiful tank.

Regards
Fernando Chang

Congratulations.How did you get away with not needing a center brace on that tank?My tank is also 180 cm long but has a 40 cm wide glass brace in the middle..which I can't stand.

Amazing tank Sir!
Very well done!

What a beautiful tank. Really nice job. Congrats.

Congratulations from Brazil

Awesome tank, a real inspiration for the hole hobby

Best Regards

ma vieniiiiiiiii!!!!!!


italians do it better......:lol2::D:D

Congrats Nando, one of the best tanks IMO.

Truly amazing tank. Beautiful coral garden.
Your tank is fully packed with nice colorful corals. How do you handle a over-crowded tank? I don't see them sting each other, nor do I see pale color at the root area. How do you achieve it?

Bravo Ferdinando:thumbsup:

Il tuo acquario e' stupendo! Complimenti!
Una domanda per te: quando aggiungi il potassio, misuri i livelli di potassio nell'aquario usando un test kit? Usi una marca preferita?

Grazie!

Ferdinando, tanks like yours inspire me to do my best to keep fantastic tanks! Your tank is simply amazing! You truly do deserve this TOTM! I hope one day I can have a tank like this in my home :D
