Simple and grown in. Really great looking tank!

Nice tank!

That looks like a beautiful tank!

Im not gonna lie, I think this is the best tank Ive ever seen. Everything else is just too over-done. This is very simple and clean. I like it.

wow!

gorgeous

Gorgeous tank. You have a thread?

Awesome tank.

spectacular...

Wow thanks everyone, and I was bummed because the picture is so overexposed it washed out all the subtler colors. I have had this tank it it's current form for about a year, I started two years ago but moved it once and re-did everything. I don't have a thread for the tank, I used to be more active on this site last year, I learned a lot from this site though in the beginning.

your tank bathes in the blood of noobz!

(it's incredible)

hah thanks.

Very nice.

gorgeous...nice open aquascape...refreshing.

nice fungia

Thanks. If you look at the old picture I have of the fungia, you can see it was doing much better before. I don't know why but it only expands a bit at night now, it used to be huge all day. It kind of coincided with uping my dosing two part when I added more SPS, and the addition of Kalk+2 for top off via an aqualifter and auto top off solenoid. I wish it would expand like it used to.

My idea when I moved this tank and re did the rock work was to have a lot of sand bed and open water space. I could have added more rock, but then what? More room for coral placement maybe but I like it as it is.

what kind of lighting...moonlights etc.

Oh its just a Current Sunpod fixture, 2x150 watt Phoenix 14 k bulbs. 9 LED moon lights come on at 1am when the halides go off.

What are the other specs of the tank? I don't see an overflow. Just the two... K3s??

I should start a thread I think for this tank.

The overflow is by CPR, it's in the left hand corner of the tank. I love that you didn't notice it, it is built with black and clear acrylic on the in-tank side so it will blend in better and reduce algae growth. The pumps are Koralia 2's, and I recently added a sump, hence the overflow. The return pump is a Mag 5, and I am running a Coralife skimmer, the SS 65, and a Phosban 150 reactor, powered by a Maxi 400 with phoslock and carbon changed monthly. The sump and P04 RX were added about a month ago and everything is looking waaay better since. I also use 100ml of two part solution everyday, and auto top off with Brightwell Kalk+2 via an aqualifter and solenoid.

cool beans
