very nice tank, but the dimensions can't be right. 2000cm is ~787", which is about 65ft long! now if it was 200cm, then the tank is about 6.5ft long. gorgeous tank either way!

electric130 : true.. hehe I added a "0" .. it's 200 cm.

jamal-188: I don't know if those bulbs are sold in USA, but the reflectors was bought in the USA from Pacific Garden Supply i think.

Ereefic : the owner quit with Zeovit because with that method
he hadn't a good growth, that's why he swithed to the other method (basically heavy feeding).
He noticed a growth boost but even some corals began loosing some of the colours they had (probably because of the heavy feeding waste).
As far as I know ( I read about it yeasterday ) he switched back to Zeovit but I don't know much more.
I'll probably talk to him in few days and I'll ask him bout that .

now just a question for the mods and admins .. can that tank become TOTM on RC ? (the owner truly deserve that IMHO)

Ie with rock only?

Would be great to see how the aquascaping is done, as the tank is brilliant!

I guess I have to agree and disagree with whats said.

Definatly a beautiful looking tank with some wonderfull coloring and growth.

It's just overcrowded though for MY tatse. I like the more open look.

But still a very stunning tank.

Amazing tank.
I personally prefer more open space tanks(like Steve Weast's) because it appears more natural.

What ever floats your boat I guess

hold on...all of your tanks DONT look like this...psssh.
j/k, that tank is amazing. Seems like alot of fish too. Amazing work.
I was considering running on only MH"s and nothing else, but was unsure as to how it would turn out cause I havent seen anyone else do it. But it seems wicked, so now Im on board, lol.

happy reefin'

Interesting read, that translated article. I couldn't agree more with sentiments such as this:

"I do not believe that a painter from deep of its I, from the farsightedness of its fantasy, could recreate a perfect harmony of colors therefore, shining and spectacular."

Beautiful tank by the way.

I have to disagree with some people saying this tank, and other like it are not natural looking.


Have you ever looked at a 6'x2'x2' section of a coral reef? It looks just like this tank. Nothing but coral. A reef crest does not have big open space with sand beds.

Are we trying to replicate a small piece of the reef or the whole ocean? If the latter is the case, I want to see a tank, with an outer reef slope, a reef crest, a protected inner reef, a shallow lagoon, a mangrove habitat, .... High and low tide, etc etc etc.....



Great tank BTW!
