Copp's 65g tank was TOTM back in the day; one of my biggest inspirations to get into SPS. Truly amazing...

First of all...Nice tanks everyone!!! I agree Ray..Coops tank is amazing!

Now, where is your pic of your tank? I've seen your tank and I think you should share it here on RC...simply beautiful! :)

Chaotic Reefer4u 06/03/2007 10:05 PM

very nice, thanx for sharing everybody!

msn711 06/03/2007 11:42 PM

Gorgeous tanks everyone. I'd share my 40 breeder, but it just finished cycling. Somebody check on me in 6 months to a year. :)

werdlone 06/04/2007 08:53 PM

I feel embarassed to show my tank after copps...that is an amazing set up. Here is my 50g breeder 36x18x18. Recently coverted from a "softy" tank to sps about 7 months ago.

[B]Here is my 58g. The right MH had just shut off when I took this picture, that is why the left side looks brighter.

can't get the colors right with my camera tho

Here's my lowtech 58... in February. Well, I had a major tank crash after an electrical failure (since then I've had the house rewired but I had a generator running the household for about 2 weeks and the tank suffered terribly from minimum skimming and circulation, I'm just now starting to get nitrates back in line and get the algae bloom over, fighting cyano, etc etc, lost a good portion of my stonies but certain others are okay. Then after no real lights when the power was back on, everything bleached! AAGH!! I will not quit though)

After the crash. Kinda sobering, and certainly not a showcase tank, but too often we forget what can happen with such a small tank. I'll never be as complacent again, it still makes me want to cry when I think of how much died. But luckily I had given a lot of monti frags away, so hopefully I'll be able to get frags of my frags. And the new tank is coming along fine on it's second major rebuild.

kabal2 06/26/2007 04:46 PM

wow sorry to hear about that, i hope everything gets right for you

Here's a tank that a LFS/aquarium manufacturer here in Mich is putting together.
[url]http://michiganreefers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49277[/url]
Its dimensions are awesome (36X30X24) They used starphire glass. It has a really nice sized sump/refug and is going to be lit by all T5's. They just set it up like a week ago so no corals or fish yet.

zuzecawi 06/26/2007 11:14 PM

Thanks kabal/Gabe, I appreciate the well wishes. Seems there's a pretty high tide mark set by the other folks who've put their tanks on this thread, I've got a lot of work ahead of me before I can reach the level I was at before, let alone the beauty of some of these other 36" tanks! But hey, it's all part of the thrill of reefkeeping, right? I really enjoy seeing the things people can accomplish in a modest footprint. I'll be enjoying the 58 for a good while longer as the 210 system gets its facelift and new plumb job, and its really nice to see what other people have accomplished in similar spaces. Gives me some goals beyond just reclaiming lost space!

Keep em coming folks!
