Really beautiful tank mike, I love the way the one rock has a space under it and sticks out. I tried something like that but my rock is way chunkier, your version is way nice.

Nice tank! Did you make the LED hangon fixtures? Can you buy those? If so please post a link.

 

Thanks,

Bill

bill,the leds were a diy. i added them to a lumenmax reflector i am sorry to say i did nit document the build i changed the way i wanted to do it a 1000 times in a nut shell it is 12 royal blue cree leds 80 degree optics a hacked up heatsink 2 small fans a acrrylic enclosure and one led driver there is a wealth of info in the lighting section that deals with the building of these things

thanks,mike

 

I think I would cry tears of joy if my tank looked like this.

Absolutely amazing, I'm blown away.

thank you, mike

Still love this tank. Any chance of getting some shots from the sides and maybe a top down shot? How's the new skimmer working for you?

wowzers!

Nice coral colonies! The branching ones really give the illusion of a much larger tank.

yes i am very happy with the growth a 1 1/2 ago they were 1" frags

thanks

i will work on that, what is the best way to take a top down pic? sides are no problem the skimmer works fine but i do believe i could use something smaller i only run it 12 hours a day and at the end of the week i fill the cup with about one inch of skinmate i am tempted to try the nano skimmers by euroreef

 

thanks again,mike

Generally a top down photo is done best by switching off the pumps (return pump included, but feed mode should be fine for the vortech) and letting the water settle. If you have a polarizing lens, this would be a good time to use it. I can't wait!

Wow, such a sick tank. I was trying to figure out where the water went until someone pointed out that the rock wall covered the overflow.
