Simply stunning!
Definitely one of my personal favorites. Not only is it beautiful, but it's unique. Different from the norm/SPS dominated tank!
Awesome!

What a tank. I can't believe you only feed the fish once per week. So much for "this fish must be fed 2 or 3 times per day"!!!!!
How do you keep the sand so clean, especially against the glass in the front?

Makes you wanna have a "Coke and a smile" huh

You know I was looking for a picture of this tank to add to the Best of the Best reef tank thread but couldn't find it. This is a very great tank and easy on the electricity bill as well. Great job Mucho.

Great Job Mucho! I told you that you could win. I have seen this tank in person and I can say that this tank looks ten times better in real life, if you can believe it. This couldn't have happened to a nicer reefer.

Nice job Mucho.

Great looking tank! Most people like myself switch over to a SPS dominated tank for more color. Well you have defied everyone by having mucho colors in your mucho reef. That tank is spectacular. I would love to see it in person, even the pictures are relaxing!
Long way of saying. . . BEAUTIFUL TANK!!!
