In regards to your best FTS having a cleaning magnet, etc. in it keep in mind that there is always Photoshop which makes it easy to remove things like this. Great tank once again and keep up the good work! |

Very well done....I have the same fixture and thinking about adding the same LED units like yours. How do you mount them to the fixture and how the wiring goes?..THANKS

Awesome tank. Dont understand the issue with it being all lps or acans. They are all different colors and just incredible. The work it must have taken to grow all those out is just incredible. Thats ones of the coolest tanks I have ever seen.

One of my absolute favorite tanks that I have ever seen! (Ans I love sps) If a tank with 30 different sps colonies qualifies than why not different types of acans? There are other lps and even a stick or two lol. The health, color, and WOOOOOWWWW factor make this a run away tank of the month imo!!
Well deserved! |

Wow! Very nice LPS reef.
I have a couple quick questions about your Acans and your water parameters, hopefully I'm not being repetitive What kind of growth rates are you seeing in your colonies, and how are you finding the overall growth with the Green Slimer and the branching acro in the backgroun? What level of Ca/Alk and Mg swing do you have between water changes? what kind of Mg are you dosing? By the by, i got to see a piece of that slimer and the acro at Under the Sea today, Absolutely fantastic! I was quite surprised when Patrick told me that you are somewhat local Last edited by Walking_Target; 03/04/2010 at 09:46 PM. |

I add Brightwell Aquatics Magnesium powder once a week when performing water changes to keep Mag stable. Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Great tank. I would love to see it in person, we all know that you can never capture the TRUE beauty and color with a camera, and your tank is exactly what I have wanted my tanks to look like for the last 9 years, including the fish, except I only wanted to have 2 Bangai Cardinals and hopefully get them to mate.

This tank is awesome, and most certainly totm worthy. I have never seen a acan dominated tank, and as stunning as your pictures are, i'm sure they do the tank no justice. Great job!

Great tank, I'm inspired!
Couple of questions. I'm a stick guy and just getting into acans and blastos. You say mount them on flat rocks but the 5 acans that I got are at least 1 -2" deep on the frag plug. The skeleton sticks up so far, how do you mount them? I'm looking to grow out large colonies. And. . . can you give a link on the LED fixture you use? I'm using a 60" fixture on my 72" tank and those look perfect for my application. Thanks and good luck!
