Talking Je®vis' Office 800L SPS Tank

Greetings from the tiny island of Singapore!!!

Been reefing for more than a year now (3rd tank... still considered an amateur)... finally gathered enough courage to share with you guys my humble reef tank.

I started this tank last October (6 months ago) and the tank is located at my office (behind my workstation).

Here's a recent FTS as a starter and I promise more to come

Would like to take this opportunity to thank RC (and all its members) for the knowledge and inspirations I've gathered for the past year

Getting the main tank across the narrow staircases... entrance ways... is a real challenge... any larger I'll have to lift the tank up using a Crane Lifter



The most difficult task is to get it up the attic

Thanks

Here's how the basic tank, hood and cabinet looks like... looking rather humble compared to most RC's tanks

Yes, it's dominated by pink corals now because they were my largest pieces and they broke up in the move. I have lots of purples and blues and a couple of green pieces that are growing out now. Maybe one day I'll have the beautiful color balance that you have accomplished.
