REEF OF THE MONTH - February 2023: MantisReef's Amazing Peninsula Reef

[BigKid4788]

No problem at all, the Regal Angel totally leaves the torches and the other LPS alone.

Where do you live In Ohio?

 

[W00F]

What an amazing tank! Thanks for sharing!

How are the hammers and torches so close to the SPS without killing the SPS?!?!
How did you know they would be compatible?

Thanks!

 

[MantisReef]

I have to keep the Acros trimmed back or the torches take the edges out themselves.

 

[Slicktop]

Impressive and inspiring… great pictures as well
Saving this as a reference.
Congratulations, well deserved

Do you use the cloud function with your Orphek Icons?

I am actually, it's very easy to use, and it gives the corals a little break every once in a while. Plus it helps to keep the lights temp down, never a bad thing with LED's

Congrats, you share similar methodologies and I was even going with the same dimensions but changed it when my room was not wide enough for a peninsula. Now Sell me some frags please

 

[Nano_Man]

Amazing tank! Can you share your schedule orphek icon and do you run uv sterilizer or ozone? Thank you

 

[Tub Life]

Spectacular display! Great Job!

Regarding your Purple Magnificent Anemone, has it always been in that spot?

I previously had mine isolated on it's own tower and had planned for the same in the new display. But having seen yours smack dab in a forest of SPS makes me think I may not need to isolate it.

Thoughts?

I do run a large UV on my tank and my Orphek settings are listed in the second page of my build thread

Monster Build - Mantis' 400 Gallon Pennisula Reef

I thought it was a little past overdue posting a build thread for my tank considering its been up and running for over 10 years :) As we all know, most reef tanks are never truly finished, constantly changing and evolving over time, mine is no different. So with that said, I will leave you with...
