evilc66 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 My dad thought me to fish there and in the surrounding canals. Good memories Quote Link to comment
zoaddict Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 recognize both of your tanks from r2r, love both of them. and you take some amazing pictures. also, I'm glad to see you over here on NR what do you have planned for your 3rd dropoff? Thank you , Your very kind, The next build will be a double drop off hopefully. Tank builders agreed to do it, But!!!! I need to move house which should be this time next year. This tank will be broken down when I move, Hopefully it should (touch wood) grow out nicely in that time. I'm originally from Hertford until 5 years ago...use to fish the reservoirs at Tring occasionally. Such a small world Wow tank looks amazing! Thank you Brilliant!!! Pics are getting better and better! Thank you, I enjoy photography and take pictures daily, Always trying to learn more took these two from above the other day only just uploaded them DSC_8101 by chopsie326, on Flickr DSC_8107 by chopsie326, on Flickr Not the sharpest, but the colours are pretty true.

RK_tek Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 When I saw just the rock work, I was a bit curious if you'd pull this off. But the tank is incredible and you have the photography skills to match 1 Quote Link to comment

zoaddict Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thank you RK, Having no tank gave me lots of time to think about exactly what I wanted to do. I just need the growth now, Hopefully the floating ledge will be hidden by beautiful sps Hi Ghill, yes New additions DSC_8177 by chopsie326, on Flickr Thanks Mick 3 Quote Link to comment

Thank you, I enjoy photography and take pictures daily, Always trying to learn more Your photos are really great, what lens do you use? My wife has a kit lens on her Cannon T3i but it really can't get good close up pictures anywhere near the kind you take. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm not sure what's more impressive, the corals, or the pictures. Awesome work. Quote Link to comment

Arce Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Love the overhang on the drop side 1 Quote Link to comment
zoaddict Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thank you Arce, Here is one from the side DSC_8203 by chopsie326, on Flickr 4 Quote Link to comment
afyounie Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I really like the open space above paired with the drop off below to the open sand. It looks so natural. The school of red spot cardinals really adds to the overall natural reef look. Are you planning to add any other schools of fish? 1 Quote Link to comment
nidding Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Absolutely stunning tank! And so many beautyful corals in it!!! And very impressive photo skills as well! Wow! ...oh yeah, and it looks WAY better with the bottom cleared! Good decision. Quote Link to comment

Thank you, I may add to the numbers of cardinals but I'm not to sure atm. Absolutely stunning tank! And so many beautyful corals in it!!! And very impressive photo skills as well! Wow! ...oh yeah, and it looks WAY better with the bottom cleared! Good decision. Thank you Absolutely beautiful tank and great looking pictures!! Many thanks Is there a link to the thread for this tank? Yes, Ultimate Reef in the medium section, Micks drop in the ocean I think it's called. Very long thread though! Well this week I started noticing a few aips springing up, It may of had something to do with me trying to superglue a couple the week before! I decided to add this guy to sort them out, DSC_8513 by chopsie326, on Flickr The tangs where not happy at all, So I stuck a fish trap in my tank which has a mirror at the back, Both tangs have been so preoccupied with their own reflections it has given the copper band the chance to settle. I have seen the cb pecking at the rock, but not spent much time looking at the tank this weekend due to drinking rum lol DSC_8281 by chopsie326, on Flickr 3 Quote Link to comment
