Where did you have to go to get the sump. Did it come from Europe

 

[rinckemd]

It came from Royal exclusiv in Germany. They're quite nice if you have some time to wait.

I don't see that model on the site did the talk to them your self what was the cost of it. How many months did it take. Did you get the skimmer with the sump

 

[rinckemd]

It's this set. http://royalexclusiv.net/Dreamboxes...0-Liter/ECO-Dreambox-sample-set-2d::1369.html

You can customize most things, they have a lot of sizes.

I just emailed them back and forth. It took 3-4 months before I had it. If you're thinking about it, be sure to get union connectors in inches and not mm, etc. They are helpful, but you have to plan it out. I have an internal media reactor for carbon, but I wish they put it in the front instead of back. Be specific!

Awesome and very healthy corals

Hey, it has been almost 2 years and the tank had some big ups and downs. Here are some new pics.

Here are a few more shots of the tank. My camera skills are still weak.

I also have a bit of a majano problem. But hey, my tank is pretty natural I guess.

Such a beautiful tank... one of the best Mixed reefs I've seen.
How's your Flameback Angel? Any nipping? I was thinking of adding one to my tank

You know, he just picks at the rocks. I haven't had much trouble. Him and my mystery wrasse are like a married couple. Following each other around, eating pods, etc off the rocks all day.

I forgot the big starfish hitchhiker. He is probably up to no good, but hides in the rocks all the time. You can get an idea of size from this pic. The dendro is a good inch or so.

Your tank looks great!

very nice tank!

 

[rinckemd]

If anyone wants more tank info, I'm trying to keep the first post updated with the latest information.

Looking good!

 

[rinckemd]

I finally grabbed a slightly better camera. These are my first attempts without any tweaks. I'm kind of amazed what real cameras can do these days without manual white balance adjustment.

bower growth encouragement.

This is my favorite acro right now. I got it from @uniquecorals as a cut to order. I don't remember what they called it. It took a while to grow and gain color, but was worth it. The pic doesn't capture the bright blue polyps, but the rest is accurate.

what camera do u shoot with?

 

[rinckemd]

The recent posts are a canon eos 77d with 100m macro. It's new to me. I'm still getting used to it. Previously I just had a canon point and shoot. The last two photos were taken Av f/5.6, top down on the tank with the camera in a porthole. Shot raw, and tweaked as needed.
