WOW! Now thats a tank!!!

Question though, why the corraline on one side and not the other? Is that side against a wall or something??

No I don't do any extra dosing . I only use a very large reactor and keep the PH at 6.1-6.2 . This is the only way I can keep up with the growth..

The reason there is no corraline on the right side of the tank is because it is connected to another cabinet that houses my skimmer and chiller..

Im sorry but there is no way you can get that much growth in one year. if it is a real tank then it truely is amazing but where are your tunzes on the left side i see two on the right and none on the left and where is the coraline on the back????? if you look at some of those italian tanks that have been around for 5 or more years your still beating them in growth im sorry but something seems up
