looking great..... Just a thought, why is everyone going to MH's over your tank? Is the stock lighting not sufficient??

[MrIcky]

I can't find it but there is some guy from Greece with an RSM with stock lighting that's pretty amazing. Maybe Stevie T remembers that one?

very young tank with 2 mountain ranges (Mt. Zoa and Lovers Leap) and a valley..

 

 

there has been some small changes with the scape though

Depends on what you want to keep. I had good experiences with the stock lighting but just like an aging woman you always want to upgrade. Hobbyist are like that, never satisfied with the current horsepower, need more and more. MH opens the doors to SPS corals in all areas.

Not off the top of my head, I do have about 3-4 customers in Greece with the media basket/skimmer cup

Needs volcano looking corals on the right. Red zoas for the magma, something spitting off the top

that's exactly my thought, i got a molten lava chalice but unfortunately chalices rather be placed low in the tank.. and i'm not too farmila with all the corals/names/species to complete my vision..

Put a large dendro polyp at the top of it so it looks like a volcano erupting

Are there some SPS you just cant keep with the stock lighting?????

 

Lastly, my Dendro is up about 4 inches off the top of the water from a 175MH..... and it LOVES the light... just gotta keep up with the feeding ( dang thing is a PIG!)

[StevieT]

There is lots of SPS you shouldn't keep with the stock lighting. Also it needs to be right at the top and most aquascapes only allow for a few pieces to get the most light

[ReefDreamz]

hmmmm now Im rethinking things..... I would like to keep montipora ( plating and encrusitng), maybe some birdsnest.... still possible? I see your clam was alright too???

 

 

Ok, maybe some pocci's too... mainly I am a LPS guy tho....

[StevieT]

I had monti caps and birdsnest under the stock lighting. They are "lower light" sps

[ReefDreamz]

nice...
