I feed too much. I feed live clams, live bloodworms, mysis shrimp, spectrum pellets, frozen spirulina algae, algae sheets, and frozen angel formula with sponge. Most of these I alternate, but i feed mysis twice daily.

tylorarm 06/05/2011 07:56 PM

I think I got the bubbleking skimmer from PA, but I'm not sure it was a long time ago.

supervdl 06/05/2011 08:23 PM

Fernando Chang 06/05/2011 08:57 PM

Beautiful!!!

chris88 06/06/2011 07:21 PM

Great tank, how come it looks like there are pictures from two different stages. in one set there is a large monti cap in the bottom center and in another it isnt there?

tylorarm 06/06/2011 08:58 PM

I was trying to free up the middle a bit where most of the current goes and moved the large green cap. Originally my design is two islands with the current going in circles around each island. A lot of flow is designed to go between the islands. Apparently the coral like this as they've grown in the middle, to the point where flow is more limited. I'm actually going to weed out more coral tomorrow, try and further improve flow.

Congrats on the TOTM. Tank is truly stunning. May I ask how on earth you were able to get a moorish idol to live?

Reefer Mike 06/12/2011 09:04 PM

Hi Tylor,

You have an extraordinary reef aquarium!!! Has your moorish idol ever bothered your coral?

Mike

jg2269jg 06/12/2011 10:43 PM

this tank is crazy beautiful. the fish list is amazing, how long have you had the moorish idol and what do you feed it. then the corals they are huge and beautiful. great job and keep up the great work

stone.david 06/13/2011 12:44 AM

jr_casteel1999 06/13/2011 12:50 AM

nice!!! looks like alot of time and money..lol

gofor100 06/13/2011 09:38 AM

Great looking tank! It's almost the same measurements of the upgrade I am currently planning.

Is there anything that you would've done differently with this one if you could get a "do-over"?

Thanks,

Chad

luisgo 06/13/2011 11:53 AM

Very nice tank. I was thinking the same thing, Where are the photos of the equipment. Love to see the powerhouse!!
