5 Tanks, 4 separate systems and each serve their own purpose:



- Main display stacked with corals and fish -1200 liters
Already 11,5 years with no water changes



- Dymico SPS tank to be, now about 2 months - 550 liters
The purpose is to compare SPS coral growth and coloring with my showtank



- Dymico NPS tank - 520 liters
a mix of NPS, LPS/ SPS.
Primary meant to experiment with NPS corals




- Frag temporary holding tank - 120 liter (connected to main display)
Anything I can't fit into my other tanks end up here.



- Experimental dosing tank -190 liter
Here i conduct experiments with new ways of reefkeeping.


Happy Reefing, GlennF.
I'm loving everything I'm seeing about your display tank.......and even my wife said WOWWWWWWWWWW (and she's not really into tanks like myself)

and did I just read 11.5 years without a water change in that first statement for the display tank??? WOWWWWWWWWWWWW indeed!!

I'm floored right now

Thanks for your beautifull words

Many people think responsible reefkeeping is out of reach, so they are afraid it will cost them dearly. Often it does...... The reason for this is
lack of knowledge.
By sharing results and showing the way how it can be reach, people get inspired to give it a go.

There are many levels of experience and ways to reach result, i am experimenting with the ecologic responsible ones...

My main display is known all over the world because the long time without structural waterchanges . I only do salinity corrections when needed.

Happy Reefing, GlennF.

Hello again GlennF. All of your tanks look really nice, has I've said before. Having said that, I'm a bit partial to the Dymico NPS tank. I think that is what you call it anyway. I'm a bit more into soft and lps corals that like lazy reef keepers You know, the nutrient rich stuff environments

Anyway - all look good but this was the first time I noticed the tank and I really like the way it looks. Great job.

Sorry, if this sounds rude, but what is the point in posting almost the same picture every day?

I'd rather follow a thread with a ton of pictures than a limited amount. Not everyone is so open to showing so much of their system. Jmo
