Just wanted to say you have a beautiful tank! I had the honor of being able to see it in person last night at the TCMAS meeting, and I hope to be able to see it again some time. Thanks for having us!

Can anyone tell me if the stone face is real or fake? If real how did he do it?

It's in the thread. Go back to the beginning. It's actually both. Some real, some fake. And he did a sweet job.

I believe it is fake. I think it was some sort of flat sided stuff but I'm not sure. I've seen ti and touched it but sometimes you can't tell

oops...I think I misunderstood your post David. I thought you were talking about the reef, not the exterior. My bad!

its a man made stone facing. you cant tell the difference between it and real stone. it weighs as much as real stone and looks identical to real stone.

Hi again, Thought i'd stop in and give some updates. The stone work on the outside of the tank is a combination of man-made rock and real rock. I added real rock just to make it all seem more authentic. By doing that it makes it very hard to tell where the fake stuff is.
The tank is doing fine and metamorphising from the last pictures posted. The sps are starting to grow massive and a few colonies are larger than basket balls. In general all is well, algae is under control and no real problems. Thanks to the Volcanoe skimmer the colors in the sps are better than ever. I can't say enogh about that skimmer. It is my main piece of hardware and really the most important thing I own for the success of the system. Since adding that skimmer my algae problems have subsided, sps colors pop and everything is in balance. I'm a firm believer in a good skimmer and there sure isn't a better one around. I've added a harlequin tusk and it is a model citizen, doesn't bother anything and is very peaceful. No new additions worth noting fish wise.

Right on! Sure glad to hear things are getting better. I had a bunch of things conspire to create a brown algal outbreak in my system and it is tough to beat. It is slowly getting better but I have lost some corals. Most, however are weathering the storm. Good skimming and slow adjustments are the key I think.

Pillers build
Does this huge thread have any post on how the diy pillers were built for the tank. They are so realistic I would love to try and build the same. There is almost now way to go through the pages to find it.
Thanks Jeff |
