wow congratulations! I want my future tank to look just like yours!

Thanks

Great use of color. I especially like how your corals of not all grouped in like kinds and has a more natural, random look. Easily a TOTM.

Note to moderators: I would like to see all the TOTM’s grouped and we come up with a Tank of the Year. So far this one is at the top IMO.

Great looking tank congrats!

Beautiful.

Congrats on TOTM. Great tank!

Congrats! And yay for T5-lit 40 breeders!

Bravo!! Very impressive SPS collection. What do you keep your calcium and alkalinity levels at? Also, when you acclimate your SPS, do you start them on the sandbed and then move them up later to their final spot? Whatever you're doing you're doing it right so I'd like to know. Congrats on TOTM!

Thanks guys.



I try to keep calcium at 400-420 and alk at 9-10. To light acclimate I have a mag rack that I start on the bottom then move up over time.

I was just looking at this tank yesterday. All I can say is WOW! This setup will be a big inspiration when I have the opportunity to upgrade. Well Done!

Congrats man, tank looks GGGRRrrrRrrrRreat!

Beutiful tank. How do you like the ReefKeeper 2 and what all do you have it controlling?

Thanks!



The reef keeper controls the lights, the cooling fans, return pump, and heaters. I also use the web server to view my reef from work.

Congratulations! I was wondering when your tank would get TOTM...

Beautiful!

VERY WELL DONE.

Amazing tank. Congrats!

Beautiful tank, congrats!!!!

Congratulations on TOTM! My favorite thing about all the tanks that get featured are the tips on maintainence and setup, this is no exception.

You should post more!

congrats!! nice to see sps dominant in the nano world!

love the pj! one of my favorite fishes!

Holy mother of SPS!
Superb tank. Congrats on the TOTM!
Did I read your lighting setup correctly? You have a T5 fixture for your SPS display and a MH over your sump? O.o

Thanks everyone!


Yep. Sounds opposite lol. I have a frag area in my sump so it works out well.

Are these bulbs the "blue upgrade" or the growth phase line-up?

whoa sorry to hijack but when did tigahboy come back?!

I think with the NR.com birthday giveaway thread.

These are the growth phase lineup.

Wow... your tank is extremely inspiring!

A true work of art ! Congrats on your well deserved award!

Absolutely gorgeous! And extremely inspiring! I am very jealous of your beautiful sps, and your camera (some of those shots are amazing!)
I am wondering where you bought your "$12 battery powered pump that will automatically turn on if it notices the power is out"?

Thanks. the backup pump is "Silent Air B11 Air Pump" google that and you will find it.
I copied and pasted the verbage below.
"Life insurance for your fish- the bubbles go ON when the power goes OFF! This battery powered air pump is a must for your precious aquarium fish. The pump automatically turns on when it detects no A.C. electricity, providing your fish with life-saving aeration during a power-outage."

Wow I will definitely be getting at least one of those, thanks!

Gorgeous tank! what type of overflow box if i may ask?

The overflow box was custom made. 4x5x5

Congrats on such a well deserved honor. Your tank is beautiful!
