UPDATE:

Added the final frags to this tank. Threre are also FTS shots with and without flash. Some pics aren't that great, I was in a hurry. I will take better ones when frags are fully opened.

wow that's a pretty sweet tank Asin. looks like you ran out of room

Well, I actually still have room. But I placed things in areas where they can grow. So, I guess I'm out of "growing" room.

lol asin do i sense a bigger tank in the works?

I'm not sure. I was thinking of doing a ADA frameless with a SunPod, but I'm not sure. I might just throw a SunPod over this tank and leave it. I wasn't going to keep the tank after the contest, but its done so well that I kind of like it now.

lol! i hate when that happens.

Yeah, I know. But, we'll see. I might be getting the new JBJ HQI tank that comes out in March, so if I do, I will transfer everything from this tank to that tank.

Damnit, your tank shows up my 30g!! lol!

Wait till I get the new NC HQI. Muwahahahahaha!

Pffff, bring it buddy!

Are you threatening me?

UPDATE:

January FTS and a couple pics of the left and right side of the tank. So far everything is doing great, I'm getting awesome growth on all my zoa's. I've also seen some nice growth on my blastos.


Enjoy!

Damn son, you look out of space.

DAMN! That's awesome bro. The tank looks killer.

Don't trip, chocolate chip! I've got plenty of room for growth, so stop hating!



Coming from you bro that means a lot. Just trying to keep up with your 20 bro!

Here's my February update. Everything has been going well. I'm getting a lot of growth, especially in my zoa's. The Eagle Eye's have exploded in this tank, from a frag of about 7 to a large colony. Here are some pics of the tank and the February FTS.

I had a blast doing the contest! Thanks to everyone for the kind words and encouragement.

I want to especially tank my SCNRS family for everything from frags to suggestions.

The following SCNRS friends are especially thanked:

- ezcompany
- phixion
- adinsxq
- juin21
- cesar
- roxy25
- one8thscale

And of course, Mike @ Pacific Reef!


Thanks again all and good luck to everyone!


-El Presidente!

you got my vote as el vice presidente
whether i like your tank or not, is a whole different story LOL

gj bro!

Its a great little tank! You know, I didn't do 1 water change in this tank. Just top-offs with distilled water. No problems yet!


Thanks for your support, bastard.

Wow, good work Frank, I mean Iz. Were you inspired by the visit to TRO, or just didn't W/C just because or what?? Eitherway, good luck bro, you deserve it as you worked real hard to make an awesome tank!!

thats one thing I dont like about the judging... it could be done on how you like the person.. not how nice the tank is..
but whatever

It was just a joke, bro. Don't get your thong all bunched up!



Well, in the beginning that was my plan, but after talking with Frank, I felt better about it. Thanks for the compliment, BTW.

lol just a comment
sorry my slightly used mvite thong tends to bunch up

It's fixed? WTF?
