AMAZING tank, Francisco!! It's like looking down onto an actual reef flat!

You also have a nice website, but I can't do the transalation. Any chance you could post some details about the equipment?

WELCOMED!!!!!!! Sorry, I don't know how to post the banner. Someone else will for me.
Very nice tank. I am impressed how you can keep all those colonies from growing into each other.

You liked that ah? The old avatar needed a change. Plus, my wife finally saw it and gave me the: "how is that I am going to explain to your son that a highly educated and respected man idolize teenagers prancing in underwear?"

How old is this tank? It's incredible. I bet you actually HAVE to frag to survive. I wish you were in my reef club!

Rick, that's more populated and full than any reef in the wild that I've seen and I grew up snorkeling in Miami (20 yrs ago before so much polution ~ well, before what the last 20 yrs of polution). He's got a reef on sps-roids! Hopefully this will be me in 3-5 yrs...

Francisco, WOW you have an awesome reeftank.

How to you provide enough calcium to meet the demands of all
of those sps corals ?

Can you give us some information about the equipment you use,
lighting, filtration etc ?

Francisco, that is just AWESOME. When I look at the pictures of your tank I can't tell if I'm looking at an aquarium or an actual reef in the wild. GREAT JOB!!!!!

BTW, I would also like to know how you are keeping up with calcium and alkalinity demands.
