That's gonna be sweet in a year or two. Wall to wall coral of all different colors and forms. Once everything grows and is attached to the rocks, it wont look anything like an LFS. Tank of the month without a doubt. Naturally, I think you need an Australian Elegance in there though.

Monger, just so you know "Plus it has way better things than your LFS" is a pretty bold statement from a person who does not know what my LFS stocks and the availablitity offered to them. I like the quality and variety of your corals but the aquascaping and placement reminds me of an LFS, not too original, thats all. For the "Tank to be done right" I was thinking something more natural looking.

OMG this tank has more cool corals than I've seen on the 'post your best XXXX' threads! I love the orance ecinada! How about you get another 180 gallon tank, do some aqauscaping in it and then you could place your corals is specially designed spots in the rocks to f a true masterpiece tank. You inspire me to find the coolest frags and grown them into beautiful colonies.

with that many frags, and the patience to let them grow out, i think his aquascaping is perfect.
and why you gotta pee in his kool-aide? its as good as it gets w/ what he currently has. i thought this forum was intended to help people, and share the glory of the hobby. not to jab at someone because you're jealous of their tank man. the tank looks great dude. But hey, thats just like opinion man.

Awsome job. My wifes 120 is packed with lps similar to your tanks look but not so much high end stuff. Yes the acans - micros - blastos (15) of them, duncans about 90 pieces last time I tried to count. I find it nicer than my sps tanks. Your tank is the best I have seen ever. Great job.

Serious, I can PM you with info.
G. SMITHII, No one is peein in the kool-aide. I posted in this thread to state an opinion just like you. As I said before, I think ReefMonger has a great variety of some serious looking LPS and is a successful reef hobbyist/aquarist. I was commenting on the overall look of the FTS which reminded me of an LFS which lacked a more natural looking aquascape. Also I do not be-grudge him of what he has, not my style. I like my system just fine. When on this site you will encounter many different opinions, comments and methods. Some you agree with others you do not. We all cant agree on every issue, that would be boring. |

yea thats true, and cool.
i was just a lil discouraged by how it just seemed to turn to a debate about how "cool" homeboys tank is. pointing out that "your tank looks like an LFS tank" seemed to be a lil degrading. thats all. i thought it migh have been a lil bit uncalled for, but, i guess thats the risk you take postin pics of yer tank!

Nice corals but the rock work looks like a wall to me ! Move some rocks out and open the tank up a bit - that would help a lot IMHO !
|

If I move any rocks there is no room for the coral.

Lighting is an Aquatinics 14 bulb fixture
10 bulbs are ATI blue plus 2 bulbs are uvl aqua suns 2 bulbs are uvl actinic whites I run the blue plus 6-7 hours a day and the daylights run 3-4 hours at most I have a 50 gallon fuge with an octopuss 2000 recirc skimmer. I dose Kent Tech A and B every other day 40ml each I dose Tech M once a week probably around 250 ml I feed coral frenzy 2-3 times a week. The fish get fed probably 3 times a week if they are lucky.
