Congrats Morten - outstanding tank and beautiful fish!

The Acanthurus japonicus (Powder Brown) looks more like a Acanthurus leucosternon (Powder Blue)? That Gem Tang is amazing! Any issues with the Regal angel nipping on the SPS?

Its hard to image from the first photo on your Tank Of The Month looks larger then 90. or is it an optical affect?

mortenN · #8 01/05/2006, 12:00 AM

Thanks again Skipper. This is a big honor for me, and I hope many guys can enjoy the pictures.

Thanks NexDog.
If you read the article and look at www.coralreef.no in my photogallery you will understand A.japonicus VS P.B.T.

No, I have not any problem with nipping on SPS from my Regals.

Gorgeaous tank,congrats!!!!

Thanks usnao95.
No, it's not a optical affect. I use a Canon 20D with 18-55mm lense to take top/down pictures.

Thanks everybody.

What a beautiful tank! Your corals are just awesome!

luckybaker4 · #13 01/05/2006, 01:54 AM

In the picture of the sump, what is the function of the blue filter housing in the middle of your sump with the green tubing going into it? Kalk?

Kinetic · #14 01/05/2006, 02:16 AM

That's beautiful. What are the dimensions of your display tank? Does your flame angel nip your SPS and clam mantels? How about the regals? When did you introduce the flames and regals?

Is your tank really only a 90g? It looks so much larger.

Amazing! Very beautiful indeed. Unique shape too.

Airman · #15 01/05/2006, 02:44 AM

Very Nice

wjhuie · #17 01/05/2006, 03:44 AM

How well do all the tangs get along ? One fish looks just like a blond naso tang.

Rogger Castells · #18 01/05/2006, 03:51 AM

Very nice tank, I am interested to know what is your set point on your ORP controller, And what is your actual Mv. reading?
Also could you tell me were is the computer made?

Yossia · #19 01/05/2006, 06:15 AM

Gawain1974 · #21 01/05/2006, 08:10 AM

Beautiful tank! Your corals have such amazing corals. Looking at the first pic in the write-up, it's really hard to believe that your display is only 90 gallons.
