Deadline Extension..again

Merry Christmas to All!

I will extend the deadline once again to the 28th. I think people are too busy this time of year and may need some extra time to post.

Okinawan, thank you for the PM regarding nano tank of the year, much appreciated.

I guess some of the readers of this forum would like to know how the nTOTM tanks matured over time. So here's what happened to mine:

As some of you will know, my little humble tank was the very first nTOTM (which was then followed by many many inspiring winners), and it was subsequently featured in RKM's April issue as RK TOTM.

The way I stocked the tank was cool to look at, but in the long run it was insensible for many reasons, most of all, corals need room to grow!

This year has been very very busy for me and my maintenance regime lapsed as a result. Weekly water changes became monthly water changes and Sydney had a very very hot summer (42.5C at NYE!). In addition, I just setup my new 4' tank, so I moved many of the frags into that tank. Some of the corals stayed the same, some changed. So here is how it stands today. Sorry, I don't have a daylight FTS, just under moonlight.

WTH!!!!!!!!!! I submitted a post like 3 days ago and its not here! I didnt even think to check it either! MAN, I am assuming its too late, but here goes anyways. I am just basically using my old thread....


Plumbing: (or lack there of lol)
-Tank is a ADA 18gallon. Dimensions are 24x14x16
-Lighting is a 70w Metal Halide Viper 14k bulb
-I have a rio 400 (just upgraded from a 180) that is attached to a sufrace skimmer to remove the "oil" from the surface
-1 Additional rio 180 for more flow
-No filtration or skimmer on this tank, BUT when I do a WC I throw on a small "Liberty" filter to clear up the water for a few hours.

Thank you Okinawan for setting up and organizing this years contest, I think you did a great job!

Current USA Solana 34 Cube
Most livestock is from my existing Current USA Aquapod 24 which was the March NTOTM, and transferred to the Solana after my tank crashed during the summer.

Light: Current USA Outer Orbit 250w with actinics using a Giesemann Megachrome Marine (12.5k)
Filtration: Deltec MCE300 and a Eheim Liberty HOB filter
Water Movement: 2x Tunze 6025s modded (there's only 1 shown in the pics, waiting on clips lol)
Misc. Equipment: Current USA 1/10th Chiller

Livestock: My goal is to make this tank deepwater SPS dominated, as I love Lokanis, Suharsunois, Turakis, and Bottlebrushes. Its getting there... other livestock include Blastomussa, Tridacnid Maximas, Montiporas, Zoanthids, Lineatus Fairy Wrasse, Hawaiian Flame Fairy Wrasse, and a Juvenile Mystery Wrasse, who is staring at you in the last pic! I find it interesting that all three fish are from different parts of the pacific, the Great Barrier Reef, Marshall Islands, and Hawaii. Maybe thats why they all get along~

FTS (MH only no actinics)


Top Down (This is the best I could do, light blocks the camera)








Thanks for looking!

OMG EZ! I HATE YOU. Seriously dude, your tank is freaking amazing. That gold maxima, and your wrasse! SHEESE, way to show me up. It looks great man.

My clowns are Picasso Clowns aka genetically messed up. LOL. They are bred from ORA, and are Perculas.
