So, at the risk of sounding ridiculous, why are half of the corals growing downwards from the top of the tank?? A full tank shot would make things a lot clearer.

Great looking corals!

"Lastly, I would like to thank my wife Annika, she has put up with various floods and smells over the years."

I'm sure she has...but have there been any floods and smells coming from the tank too?

This TOTM proves there is more than one way to skin a cat: little LR and no controller...neither is my bag but look at his results..who can argue?

Well Done, Congratulations. I always like seeing the tanks that are less technology and more about ingenuity.

Adding my congratulations, Tony. Well deserved. What's the very thickly branched staghorn you have to the right of midway the tank?

My girlfriend has put up with various smells over the years as well..no floods yet, though (knock on wood).

"Pumps will get a clean, maybe twice a year, by soaking them in citric acid overnight, and it brings them up like new."

Fantastic system! Can I ask how much citric acid per liter of RO water do you use to soak pumps?

Thanks!

Dunno about Tony, but I use 50g per litre.

@ Tony. Class throughout, and without spending a fortune on kit. Great achievement.
