Copp's 65g tank was TOTM back in the day; one of my biggest inspirations to get into SPS. Truly amazing...

First of all...Nice tanks everyone!!! I agree Ray..Coops tank is amazing!

Now, where is your pic of your tank? I've seen your tank and I think you should share it here on RC...simply beautiful!

Gorgeous tanks everyone. I'd share my 40 breeder, but it just finished cycling. Somebody check on me in 6 months to a year.

There's nothing to be embarrass about...your tank looks amazing as well. Colors looks sweet! Good job!

Here's my lowtech 58... in February. Well, I had a major tank crash after an electrical failure (since then I've had the house rewired but I had a generator running the household for about 2 weeks and the tank suffered terribly from minimum skimming and circulation, I'm just now starting to get nitrates back in line and get the algae bloom over, fighting cyano, etc etc, lost a good portion of my stonies but certain others are okay. Then after no real lights when the power was back on, everything bleached! AAGH!! I will not quit though)

After the crash. Kinda sobering, and certainly not a showcase tank, but too often we forget what can happen with such a small tank. I'll never be as complacent again, it still makes me want to cry when I think of how much died. But luckily I had given a lot of monti frags away, so hopefully I'll be able to get frags of my frags. And the new tank is coming along fine on it's second major rebuild.

Here's a tank that a LFS/aquarium manufacturer here in Mich is putting together.
http://michiganreefers.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=49277
Its dimensions are awesome (36X30X24) They used starphire glass. It has a really nice sized sump/refug and is going to be lit by all T5's. They just set it up like a week ago so no corals or fish yet.

Thanks kabal/Gabe, I appreciate the well wishes. Seems there's a pretty high tide mark set by the other folks who've put their tanks on this thread, I've got a lot of work ahead of me before I can reach the level I was at before, let alone the beauty of some of these other 36" tanks! But hey, it's all part of the thrill of reefkeeping, right? I really enjoy seeing the things people can accomplish in a modest footprint. I'll be enjoying the 58 for a good while longer as the 210 system gets its facelift and new plumb job, and its really nice to see what other people have accomplished in similar spaces. Gives me some goals beyond just reclaiming lost space!

Keep em coming folks!
