Idol Tanks

Travis Savant · 09/11/2005, 12:25 PM

So...I, as most people, have an Idol Tank. A tank that give you insperation to better your own. In this thread, go ahead and post a picture of the SPS DOMINATED Tank that has inspired you the most, and if possible, state the name of the owner.

Here's mine

Unfotunantly, I don't know the Name of the Owner.

Nelson Pena · 09/11/2005, 12:34 PM

the name of the owner of that aquarium is alessandro rossi

here`s mine, Bernd Mohr

Travis Savant · 09/11/2005, 12:37 PM

Wowzas, that's a nice tank.

Project Reef · 09/11/2005, 02:09 PM

Joe Kelley's tank I think will always remain my all time favorite. Everything grown from small frags. The far right end of the tank is cut off in this photo, he had a few large colonies there as well...:

...And of course Yasuhiro's tank:

You might want to change the title to IDOL and not IDLE.

Joe Kelley was definitely one of my favorites as well. I liked the use of sea grass.

Before he took down the tank, the sea grasses had reached almost up to the water surface. He had a nice variety as well. I'm going to send Joe an email and see what he's been up to. Last I remember, he said something about wanting to set up a small cube tank...

And how many gallon is a "small" cube tank?

Project Reef · 09/11/2005, 08:25 PM

Don't quite remember Morten, probably something in the range of a 24 or 30" shallow cube...
