Have a couple questions for you? I saw from the beginning you were dosing, where did you get this setup and how do you like it? Any advice on coral keeping, i have a 90g i am looking to start adding a lot more coral to!

Also how many gallons are in the tank?

Thanks Reeftanks... I designed the dosing stand (made from acrylic) which sat inside my old stand. All the dosing equipment was purchased online and I really like it. Keeps it simple! There are many brands to choose from.

As for advice... just do lots of research and reading.

From memory, it's around 160Gal but not 100% sure

Cheers

Amazing tank! Love that you are so willing to share your experiences with everyone. Keeps the inspiration and creativity flowing.

Can you post some more photos? Are the eco-lamps still doing a good job with your corals coloration?
Thanks

Update Pics

Nothing new has been added to the tank. I have reverted back to the ATI for the mean time. Reason being I didn't like the LED's sitting on the glass rim. I would like to hang from the ceiling.

The tank has been on Autopilot mode for the past few months and the corals appear to be happy and growing well.

afernandez · 05/11/2013, 09:49 AM

I like the T5's. looks better & seems to have a better spread of light.......Then again my opinion is Bias because I'm a T5 guy

Looks great either way

chingchai · 05/11/2013, 11:16 AM

Andrew. Tank is super clean and healthy.
Is it you or your wife to get this credit?

cFloor · 05/11/2013, 11:47 AM

Tank is looking awesome! It'll be interesting to see if you go back to the LEDs. I personally love the look of the t5s in the pics above. The last pic is stunning!

Reef_Noob · 05/11/2013, 02:59 PM

Absolutely gorgeous.
Such inspiration is rare to come by. Thanks for the update Andrew.
Looking clean like a new setup...that's just dedicated care and husbandry.
I always learn from you.

sahin · 05/11/2013, 03:04 PM

Beautiful as always Andrew. You know something, I prefer your tank with the T5's.

ridetheducati · 05/11/2013, 05:17 PM

Disregard, wrong thread.

lextheimpaler · 05/12/2013, 06:01 AM

Just out of curiosity, how much $ did you spend on this tank?

knukles55 · 05/12/2013, 06:39 AM

this look amazing

Crazy_Beaver · 05/13/2013, 01:19 AM

Very nice as always!

lextheimpaler · 05/13/2013, 01:34 AM

Nice tank but the for the amount he spent on the equipment he should include a McCulloch Clown and Clarion Angel to make it truly special.

Moser · 05/14/2013, 03:21 AM

I think it is truly special already!. If you have something to match it, let's see it?!..

Walter Costa · 05/14/2013, 09:38 AM

Again, congratulations!! Most inspiring!

Judging light by pictures is very hard but I have to say that under T5 the pictures looks better. I don't really enjoy much the "disco floor" looks of less, but again, it maybe only on the pictures.

If your tanks is like this on auto-pilot, them my friend, you've made it!!! Just sit back and enjoy the ride ( or the flight

)

All the best Andrew

LOL. I don't have US$50K+ to spend. If you can lend me the money then maybe I could as well.

Bugger · 05/14/2013, 10:55 AM

Your pieces have finally grown into show piece size. Nice!It only took four years but what happened to all those other pieces you had at the beginning the tank did you sell them did they die or did you just get rid of them

Bello · 05/14/2013, 11:20 AM

Beautiful tank, such natural growth

or maybe you wouldn't.

Pretty poor taste to bash someone's tank on their own thread or to intimate that it is simply due to $$$ being spent.

The tank is a testament to great husbandry, good equipment selection, and great aquascaping skills. It's a gorgeous tank and I really don't get why you or anyone would feel the need to criticize or diminish the tank.

BTW, not sure why putting a large angel in a moderate sized tank would make it truly "special"
