Skipper - I could not be more thankful for your time and effort in publishing my article. A million thanks!

Dxmarinefish - Thanks for all your compliments! Since I am using the Nikon DL camera, which doesn't come with a video component (function). I will try to get a new POS camera and post some videos of my tank later on.

wcpeixoto - Thanks so much. I made a mistake in writing the PO4 level, it should have been >0.03 instead of 0.3.

Marko9 - Thanks, it is my pleasure to share my tank with other hobbyist.

pvtschultz - Thank you!

invincible569 - Thanks for your support! I am expecting to see more pictures from your beautiful tank.

fishdoc11 - Hope you enjoyed it! Many thanks!

Racenrich - Thanks! The plumbing is basically very simple. I just used the same return pump with two penductors from my previous 90g tank. If you take a look at the full tank shots, on the top right hand corner you will notice two penductors, which is the water return outlet from the pump. The water going back to the sump via two 1 inchs PVC pipe, which is located under the internal overflow box of the tank. I use a separate mag drive 9 pump for the prop tank.

gnatp2 - Thanks so much. I reviewed the article many times, but I overlooked the PO4 level. I apologize for my mistake, it should have been >0.03 instead of 0.3.

Oldude - Thank you for all your kind words.

Baros - I can't believe how much support I am getting. Thank you!

mille239 - Thank you!

reefing102 - Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks!

i2ik - Thank you for your compliments. I am glad that you liked it.

otiso777 - Thanks!

Craig Lambert - Thanks! The tank is not as heavy as I thought it would be. Four people will be able to carry it. The wide of the tank is 32 inch which perfectly fits through my doorway.

frogiii - Thanks so much!

snorvich - Thanks a lot. All my angels are very well behaved since I keep them very well fed. There are just few pieces of LPS in the tank. My tank has no room for more LPS. Also, I don't want them to sit at the bottom restricting the flow. There are certain types of LPS that I wouldn't want to try placing in my tank, such as acans, simply because I wouldn't trust my angels with them.

Timinator - Thanks so much.

melev - I really appreciate your support. I am glad that you like this little idea. I will try to post more pictures of fish and corals in a single shot.

JPMagyar - It takes me roughly 3 hours weekly for water change and maintenance. Apart from that, it usually takes me about 15- 30 mins for daily maintenance. The most time consuming part is placing new coral in the tank. It takes few hours to make rearrangement. I believe there is still lots of room for my corals to grow. I am always thinking of setting up a bigger tank in the future.

jeweldamsel - Thanks a lot! I clean the inside wall of the front acrylic every two or three days. The internal magnet is cleansed throughly prior usage, when the magnet is not in use, I try not to leave it in the tank. Before the front acrylic wall is cleaned, I siphoned out all the detritus left on the front bottom part of the tank.

acrouse - Many thanks!

KEEPERZ - Thanks so much!

killagoby - Thanks a lot!

fisheebill - Thanks!

THP - Thanks a lot! My 320g tank has been running for close to 1 year and 9 months now. But most of the corals has been with me with over 3 years. They were transferred from my previous 90g tank.

saltycreefer- Thanks!

AcroSteve - Thanks!

cward - Thanks so much!

33g - Thanks!

Elliott - Thanks! I am glad that you enjoyed it.

zacharytrimble - Thanks so much and I am happy that you and your wife liked it!

crazzy - Thanks! I set my autofeeder to feed my fish 4 times a day. I feed one to two times in the morning before work and after work.

J.P.Silva - Thanks a lot.

MG21 - Thanks!

jeri - Thanks a lot. I have learnt almost everything from the forum. There are many good threads providing lots of information on how to setup a bare bottom system.

underWoasisjake - The autofeeder is set to feed it 4 times day and I also feed them before and after work. I have a good skimmer for aggressive nutrient export. Also, the regular maintenance and husbandry are crucial for my setup to keep the water parameter in check.

Baboo - Thanks!

Antiguan - Thanks!

saltbox125 - Thanks! I always make sure all my fish are well fed and are little bit overweight. I do not feed a large amount of food in a single feeding. Instead, I feed enough quantity of food for the fish to consume within a minute so no food is wasted and left in the tank.

recife111 - Thanks a lot. I am very happy with my tank now.

FunkieReefJunkie - Thanks so much. I am glad that you liked it.

ishmael - Thanks a lot. I am glad that you liked my fish. All my angels are carefully selected to suit my tank to ensure long time survival rate. As for "reefsafe", one has to be careful in selecting the right fish for a reef tank.
