This food is the best one for azoox and brand is Fauna Marin. Fauna Marin is the sponsor of Reef Central so if you need any help, just go to Fauna Marin sponsor pool.

I looove NF's... And this tank is giving me a few ideas!

The most incredible thing is the simple maintenance sistem!

luisgo · 09/09/2010, 03:16 PM

Beautiful!! I love the colors. Congratulations!

plankton · 09/09/2010, 03:55 PM

Always great to see 'different' tanks especially those that are so clean and well maintained. Great polyp extension. Congrats.

Stunning macro photography!! You have quite beautiful diverse colors in your tank. I also am a fan of the simplicity in your design...congrats!!

canesfan44 · 09/09/2010, 10:09 PM

Gorgeous! Nice to see a NP tank get TOTM

samdaman · 09/10/2010, 12:04 PM

Awesome! I have decided to set up a non-photosynthetic tank! Which do you recommend? I'm definitely getting the Sun Coral!

kma408 · 09/10/2010, 03:08 PM

wow, very nice corals, I love it. thanks for more your information

Pacific Reefs · 09/10/2010, 08:05 PM

Hi Pawel,

Love your tank. By the way I am Polish. We have the same last name. Can you PM me what it means? I have heard a few versions and none of them good lol!

Great tank, and is that glass starfire? What camera you are using? Only one light?

Right now nitrates are between 5-10 mg, so everything is ok

Tank is made from Float glass, so the regular one.
One light only

Funny and hard to believe thing is that I took them with 20-30 years old lenses.
Something about lenses - in 70' and 80' ZSRR (now Russia) was producing Smiena Cameras, nowadays you can buy that camera on internet auctions for about 3 USD, all you need is to screw lenses out from camera and attach them to Body Cover end you end up with that thing:

Its hard to believe that I took these photos with these lenses, isn't it ?
And it’s hard to believe that I spend on them only 19,90 PLN ~ 6 USD

All corals witch I have in my tank are very easy to maintain, so start with tubastrea/menella/diodogorgia - probably the easiest corals to maintain.

Your Polish and you don’t know what it means

Babiarz means - men who likes women / Casanova / "womanizer"

There’s nothing to be shame of - you don't choose your last name

...
Thank you all for nice words it means a lot to me

grigsy · 09/12/2010, 09:25 AM

Beautiful and colorful tank. Congratulations on TOTM!

SquidHC · 09/12/2010, 08:13 PM

Congrats on a much deserved TOTM. Truely one my all time favorite tanks. Period.

Too bad I don't think my skimmerless system could handle the food load that your tank requires. =(

solitude127 · 09/13/2010, 01:31 PM

Nice tank and congrats on TOTM

vipulgshukla · 09/13/2010, 06:03 PM

This must be one of the best reef tanks and clearest photography of it that I have ever seen! Excellent work dude! I'm sure countless hours of labor went into it. BTW, what make is your camera and lens?

fsugmoney · 09/15/2010, 07:21 PM

Congrats! I really like the colors.

Daniel Name · 09/15/2010, 09:46 PM

Very beautiful tank!

Congratulations!

my2girls · 09/16/2010, 06:30 AM

I'm blown away by your tank. Now that is what a reef should look like. Kudos!

Jens Kallmeyer · 09/19/2010, 03:16 PM

Dear Pawel,
congratulations to this outstanding tank, the TOTM is well deserved.
Truly inspiring, it clearly shows that there is more to reefing than Acropora & Co.

Jens

laverda · 09/19/2010, 09:26 PM

Super nice tank!
I have had a swiftia exerta for 2.5 years and lately it has not been doing as well. What food have you found it especially likes if any?
