Ed, your tank was one of a kind. But Mike's tank is looking better everyday!

I had to vote for Bob's since I bought the tank and rock......I'm just hoping that the family secret of growing corals will be passed along with the tank.

Yes, that is point if this entire thread. He will not have time to keep a tank properly and it IS illegal for me in Hawaii to keep coral so I don't have a tank either. The pics are from my tank in Arizona before I moved to Hawaii.

Having had the luxury of standing in front of both tanks just days before they were taken down I have a good idea of how poorly those pictures represent the beauty of both tanks.

While I liked the fullness of Ed's tank, I like the diversity of corals in Bob's tank. Knowing how well both of the guys maintained their tanks and how healthy their corals and other tank inhabitants are is really what sets their systems aside from so many tanks that I have looked at.

Tough vote.

I voted for Bob's for one simple unbiased reason. Some of his frags are now my corals. : ) I hope some day my tank looks as good as either. They are both awesome.

I voted for Ed's Tank. Is there a newer photo of Bob's tank you are hiding from us? Is Ed cheating?

You all realize Ed has gone to the nearest library and voted from each individual computer....

Just kidding...

Maybe they can do a "Tank(s) of the month" and feature both.... hmmm

Man that was difficult! They both won over each other in so many different categories! IMO Bob's was the best 'reef display' while Ed's was the best in showcasing the coral themselves.

My vote went to Bob, only because it was easier to take it all in. But I do enjoy getting lost in Ed's. Awesome tanks both of you though !

Both tanks are awsome but I voted for Ed's tank becuase I love the shear size of some of the SPS.

Yes Scott that is one of your photos. Thanks for the vote and photo

Note to all: Bob's tank (like mine) no longer exists except in the tanks of many many fellow reefers who keep our memories, hard work, and dedication alive in their tanks.

I voted for Bobs. the reason is I like the aquascape and the brightness. To me ed's tank is to overcrowded (no offense) i just like the openness.

I voted for Ed's, but now knowing I didn't get to see Bob's fully grown out, I think its closer to a tie...

That's like asking a grown man to choose between Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson.

I just won't do it!!

Both are real nice though. I would almost guess they were the same tank at different time points.

You should share your husbandry skills!

I like Bobs better. Ed's is too crowded. Looks tacky to me.
