Amazing tank!! and great write up! Your tank is what everyone in this hobby hopes to one day be able to achieve. It really can’t get any nicer than that.
Congratulations!!

BEAUTIFUL! Congrats on TOTM! Did you paint the back of your glass purple or blue? Glows such a nice color! I've thought about doing that, but just hate to do it and then wish I hadn't. Love the tank stand and canopy- is it knotty pine? That's what our's is and I love it.

The TDNW300 Octopus was a great skimmer and I ran it for about year, but I wanted to try the new Reeflo skimmer because of the single pump that draws only 85 watts. The reeflo pump can last 25 years and is repairable while the octopus skimmer has 3 pumps that draw 65 watts each and the pumps are through away after a few years of use. I hope this helps you out...

The coralline algae has been a huge problem with my system....It is everywhere. The front of the tank is extremely hard to clean because of all the over grown corals...Trust me I wish I could get rid of it on the front glass.. Thx's again Mike |

I would be more than happy to give some insight on what I accomplished. Renee Julia is the other photographer that worked with Mike on his TOTM pics. I am going to PM you with my phone # so we can talk more specifically about your gear and how to use it. I don't have the time right now, but I will chime in later and give my thoughts on shooting Mike's tank particularly while under the 12K Reeflux bulbs. These bulbs are truly responsible for the vivid color and easier editing I experienced. I now have a 250w on my 30g and will be using 2 - 400w bulbs for my new tank. The abiltiy to take great pictures is an additional deciding factor in going with the 12K reeflux. I now feel the bulb you shoot under is 1/2 the battle in getting some quality pics. Jim M. more to come... |

I really like Heber, Park City is fun to shop tho. We go to the Farmers Market on Weds in Park City. I used to live in Vernal, went to Salt Lake all the time.
