I to have been following this thead. Fastfish has been a little quite.. We would like to see some full on in room shots of the tank...

The shots he supplied, are truly amazing... Although all those corals with all those Angels and large bioload would be tricky. And require almost round the clock monitoring..

I have a large SPS system, and good support equipment. It's a hands on 2-3 times a day check on condition, to keep everybody happy. And I have less than half the bioload he's supporting.

If this is a running system, my hats off to you. You are truly a god among reefers...



Happy reefing

You figured it out. The tank is too good to be true. He doesn't even own it!!!

The tank resides at my house....yes it's true. I will try to get a picture of me, my livingroom and the tank.

If only I can figure out how to take pictures in my DREAMS....

That was a just a joke by the way. It seems harse to suggest that fastfish is being anything but truthful. Besides he is a fellow Canadian and we have laws about lying.

I do know what you mean about being to good to be true (believable). My one and only angel, a coral beauty, went crazy after over a year of being good and starting going after my SPS. Personally I wouldnt try another angel....I dont like risks.

Thank you for everyone again.

Sorry for the late reply. It has been a very very busy month, I had to prepare for a big sport convention at the end of Octocber in Seattle. At the same time, I also have to prepare lot of things for an important event. I didn't have time to get back to all of your here. Finally, with everything done, I can sit back and enyjoy my tank again!

grimmjohn, murphreef, aiko670, achillesheel, nwrogers, gig, Giga, deep6er, montrealreef, i2ik- Thanks so much.

kalel1976 -With my aquascaping and coral placement, my tank seems to look bigger than its actual measurments. I only buy fish that are smaller in sizes

NexDog - Thanks. Most FTS will be coming.

michika - Thanks, I am quite satisfied with my system so far.

nwrogers - yes, More FTS from front and different angle will be coming.

ooja3k - All my LR were cooked for 6 months before putting in the tank.

Gary Majchrzak - Thanks so much . I use Instant Ocean Salt Mix, which is high in Alkality and lower in Calcium. I usually add a few cupS of Turbo Calcium after water change. No, there are no clams in my tank, I doubt if I can trust my angels with clams.

jwccwj - Sure. More shots will be coming. Some of them did occasionaly nip at the polyps in the beginning. I make sure they are really well fed, so currently they only act as glazers in the tank.

saltwater4life1 - A few FTS are posted on pg. 3 of this thread, more will be posted soon.

taithao35 - Thanks! More pictures will be coming.

ricks - Detail explanation of the system and more pictures will be coming.

dvanacker - Thanks! My angels are very well behaved.

eddie holland - I usually use my frag tank for quarantine purposes (fish and corals). There are just a few pieces of corals in there now.

Eklikewhoa, craiglanda, 250G, Flint&Eric, neyugn0w01, tcmfish -
Thanks for all your compliments!!

tcmfish - There are four tuxedo urchins in the tank. They are doing a pretty good job at consuming a lot of the coralline algae on the wall of the tank.
