I agree, nice tank.
I'd like some more information on the "SFILIGOI ACLS"... recreating the natural photoperiod sound kind of neat... but I think I saw a picture of these things in the article and they looked quite expensive. Also, what is the larger box up top in this picture? Is that part of the controller?

Very very nice. One comment if I may:
"I've observed that the aquacultured SPS are slower growers. They practically stay in a lethargic state for several months. On the other hand, the wild pieces are faster growers and their coloration is maintained more exactly after their arrival" When you refer to aquacultured SPS are you referring to wild aquacultured or captive? I have found the exact opposite in my case. Perhaps without all of the nutrient reducing methods, the aquacultured corals are more at home in my tank than the wild ones that came from pristine waters?

Congrats Ramon!
Lobsterofjustice, the ACLS is hugely expensive. I believe just the ballast is about 800 bux+ depending on wattage.

I have a question about this comment:
"This led me to build an aquascape based on three elements: a reef on the left, an island in the center and a bar on the far right." Are the structures just stacked rock, or is it held together by other means?

Outstanding! The aquascaping in particular is brilliant; the aquarium looks much wider side-to-side than 210 cm. The overall look is open and interresting in all three axes. Thanks for taking the time to write up an article on it for the tank of the month.

I love the placement in the wall! I think that set up is great, with the side exposed. Love it. Beautiful tank.
