Nice full tank, beautiful colonies in there. I saw a picture of a yellow 'corris' wrasse next to the melanarus wrasse picture but it wasn't listed.

I have also been considering the Bubble King for a tank that I am planning. How do you like this skimmer. In your opinion, what are the advantages of this skimmer. I also believe in purchasing quality components for the tank. "Do it right. Do it once".
However, this skimmer comes with a considerable price tag, so I wanted to ask a Bubble King user if their investment is justified. |

Great looking tank! I just actually got the skimmer you're using, so I'm glad that you're giving it nice reviews (I haven't set it up yet, but will be within the next month).
Love the colonies and aquascaping! Congrats!

Congratulations on totm, you have a great tank! I love that red acropora millie with the white polyps. That thing is stunning! Whats the history on that piece?
My other question for you is what is the placement of your 4-Vortechs? Thanks.

Great looking tank, I think I like the fact you have everything under the tank the most (aside from the beautiful livestock ). Bio-Reef and CoraLogic? Maybe I will run into you one day

I have 2 vortechs at each end of the tank. I have 2 placed as high as I can get them without them sucking air. The other 2 are placed are about 8 inches off the top. I will post a picture tomorrow to show their placement. I run them all on reef crest mode. |
