I cant believe your growth, espcially the orange cap.

[dascharisma]

Its a good thing that my new tank is almost ready for corals. It looks like yours could use some thinning out.

Happy Birthday to your tank! Love the pics DJ, your Morish Idol has grown so much since May!

[Philby]

Your growth is amazing, I think the cap's and the green sps above the orange cap and in a couple other places (green slimer?) are the most noticable.

And I agree with Brad, time to start fraggin! I'd also like to get some frags after christmas...

How many fish do you have in there? it's a good thing you have such a good skimmer! and congratulations on keeping your moorish for so long, I've read so much about people having trouble keeping them it's nice to see someone have one in their tank for @8 months.

[Double-J]

I frag non stop. I probably have 100+ frags sitting in my prop/sump tank. That actually my second idol. He was a pain at first but he has since stopped nipping.

[mcclandy]

i have seen your website over the last year, and thought that was incredible. But just wanted to say that those growth pictures are incredible! happy birthday to your tank!

[gatordoc]

I wish I had that kind of growth. Great looking tank...

[Double-J]

thanks for the compliments!!!

[Covey]

You keep this up this up you might be the clubs first TOTM

Sweet build!

[slovan]

How many tangs do you have in there? It's even hard to see your ninja tang!

[oohmiller]

Is the best tank I have seen, and in person it is even more incredible!!!

[leeweber85]

Thanks for posting JJ. I bet the pics don't do any justice for the size of those corals.

It's amazing to see the difference in just one year.

[rommelgin]

Thats just simply BEAUTIFULL!! One of the sickest tanks I've seen so far. Thanks for posting!

Probably close to a dozen tangs. The black tang is definitely an overated fish!!! probably the dullest fish in the tank

Thanks again guys for all the compliments

The tank looks awesome JJ. Looks like I need to make a trip to Des Moines sometime soon to purchase some frags off of you to replace some of the colonies I lost over this last weekends ice storm.

I really hate to see you unhappy with your livestock. I'll be over next weekend to take the ninja tang off your hands.

You have a very nice tank. So much to look at. Good job!

[annamarie421]

That is completely spectacular. Stunning. Unbelievable growth. TOTM material for sure!!! Wow wow wow. I hope that I can see it in person one day!

I think it looks like garbage, maybe if you put it in my house I would like it a little bit more....lol

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Looks awesome, a lot better then the time I showed up, it's filled in nicely!

[DSMpunk]

Your tank is truly inspirational.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

[ZLTFUL]

Awesome tank JJ...too bad for you that you said you were going to be moving it to my house for a CHristmas gift...

[jtesdall]

So ....... how do we get JJ nominated for TOTM???!! He should be a shoe in. Or is it a political thing?

I say we start a Double-J for Tank of the Month Campaign. That would be a lot more interesting than the campaigning going on in Iowa right now.
