I really like the carpet's.

How long did it take you to grow them that large?

I have the same lighting fixture where did you buy height-adjustable cable kit because iam not sure what one because is best, want it to be easy to adjust it. and could you post some pics of it at the ceiling and at the light fixture. nice tank looks great!!

I love that small clam you have

Beautiful tank! Do you have any pics of the aquascaping before pics? I am in the process of redoing my 180 and fetting all the LR pics I can.

OK, it has been pointed out to me, it's not a clam, but a carpet anemone that looks like a clam!

I need new glasses.

That's an epic tank Gary.

The tank is beautiful. I personally love the majestic angel, but am wondering how that does with your corals?

rustybucket145 · #13 04/04/2006, 10:27 PM

A great combination of Anemones and corals. Do you ever experience the 'Chemical Warefare' that we hear so much about here at Reef Central?

MarksReef · #14 04/04/2006, 10:39 PM

Congratulations,Gary. You tank, skills and knowledge have always been an inspiration. Your tank has always been Tank Of The Month in my book, It's just documented now.
Congrats. Mark

Congrats!!!

What a beautiful tank.... I can't shake the words 'mystical garden' from my mind. I imagine no other tank I've viewed so far could capture the dramatic change from dawn to dusk as seeing this one in person.

Gary Majchrzak · #19 04/05/2006, 05:01 AM

Thanks, folks. I'll be back later today to answer your questions- gotta run right now. You know how it is

agfahy · #20 04/05/2006, 05:41 AM

Beautiful Tank. I love the carpets.
I wanted to ask you about your feeding regemend. Do you battle any algae problems as a result of this aggressive feeding?

I would like to feed more but lack the will to do so as I have not had algae problems since I stopped feed on a daily basis.
I personally have found frozen foods to contribute to cyano alot more then, say dry food.

Great color in your tank.

gomle69 · #21 04/05/2006, 06:11 AM

The most beautiful tank IÂ´ve seen.Stunning!

SEAFLOWERS · #22 04/05/2006, 06:57 AM

lookin good Gary, congrats

Angel*Fish · #23 04/05/2006, 08:48 AM

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful tank!

reedman · #24 04/05/2006, 09:11 AM

Gary, Congrats on a well deserved recognition. Your tank is truely beautiful.

Have you had any problems with the Majestic angel picking at the SPS or clam mantles? I'm seriously considering one of these for my reef, but it's tough to find people that have real life experience with them in a reef environment.

coryfranks · #25 04/05/2006, 10:08 AM

wow that is amazing
