Amazing tank, a direct inspiration for myself in terms of where i want to be with a display in a couple years.

Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing.

You should take some of those fish out so we can see the coral. :wink: Nice tank. Congrats.

[rossco]

Wow! Thanks alot everyone! It really feels good to read all the postive comments, it is a pleasure to share it with R2R.

 

[BebeCR]

Your tank is awsome (insane!) :tongue:

Just a note: It would be nicer if those "Progression Shots" have the date each picture was taken.

Congratulations!!

 

[darryl_v]

Truly amazing....i will definitely be watching the new tank as well.

 

[Oldude]

Sweet reef! Your tank being featured is well deserved.

 

[skinz78]

Awesome job on the reef, much deserved!

 

[tnyr5]

Beautiful and well-deserved! One question: I notice that between Nov 2008 and Sept 2009 in your progression pics you had a dramatic increase in growth. Can you think of anything you did differently during that time or would you just attribute it to the maturation of the tank?

 

[rossco]

Thanks again for all the positive comments!

Got the progression shots dated, thanks for the recommendation.

Regarding the growth from November 08 forward, I was kind of at a loss as to why until I went through my notes and realized that I installed my calcium reactor 11-12-2008. Before that I was dripping Kalk with the topoff.

Hey Scott, you have any pics of what your slimmer did when it reached the surface? It was awesome! Kinda flattened out, then started growing down again!

Sure do, here you go!

 

[Scoly]

Haha! No where to run, but down!

As promised in my Reef Spotlight article, I just posted up a thread for my 210 gallon LED SPS reef in the large tanks forum. Hope to see you there. Thanks again for all the positive feedback!
