Crazy Florida Ricordea Pics & Others

Hi! Hi!

Just found a perspex clear box in the bin. It was just calling out to be washed and floated in my tank so I could take these top down pics.

Hope you like them!

Thanks very much for all the replies and kind comments. THANK YOU!

Siffy - Here's some full tank shots for you!









graveyardworm - My tank is a British 100 gallon size ( 120 US Gallons ). It's (had to get the tape measure out for this one) 20 inches deep. My lighting is from a Geisemann 250w 20k Metal Halide pendant which also has 2 x Compact Floros Actanic tubes in. Also I have 2 x T5 Actanic tubes running the length of the tank.

As for frags guys, I live in the UK so sadly can't help you out there.

How long has your reef been set up/growing? Do you have a tank history thread/webpage? It's simply gorgeous.

Those are some of the most beautiful ricordias I have ever seen. Your tank is absolutely amazing. I am sure I speak for many people when I say, "I am speechless when I speak" Congratulations on a well set up and inspiring tank!

David Saxsby did you set up another tank and just post it under someone elses name. This is probably the second best tank I have seen from England. Wady, I'd like to see it when I come home in the summer!
