"Holy Lot-O-Leathers Batman!" how many leathers are in there Paul?

I don't have a 120, only a 90, but here's a pic of my buddy's tank in OH. it's a 120 that's been setup in it's current location for over 7 years.

The lighting is VHO, 6 total bulbs on two 660's. Two of each type.

I only have 8 softies in the tank, but two are quite large at 12-16 inched across. The finger leather on the left side is actually 7-8 different colonies, but I count as one.

i'll say thank you for him. i love going to his house. he has reclining chairs on wheels so you can pull them in front of the tank and watch the tank. it's great.

Thanks. . I'm in middle of moving a bunch of softies up from the basement tank to the 120, otherwise I'd of taken some closer pics of the tank :(
It does make it easier to watch the Tank, I don't have to move from the couch at all :D

Hey, Is that a TV right next to the fish tank? If so, what a concept!

it does look neat, but does it glare when you watch tv in the dark and the tank is lit?

personally, i think i would stare at the reef too much while i was watching TV

you are a brave man putting the TV that close to the tank. You must be crazy or just that damn good! Looks nice, I know I would develop alazy eye trying to watch both. Playoff Hockey or Reef tank, Playoff Hockey or reef tank?

Hi all,
Every one of these pictures is absolutely amazing! I'm really impressed!

Paul A. Ifkovits,
Would it be possible to get a pic of the yellow sponge to the front left of your reef? I've got a few questions if it's no bother. Do you know what kind it is? Does it grow very fast? Do you target feed it? Do you feed your tank live phyto?

Thanks!
Kevin

Hey, Is that a TV right next to the fish tank? If so, what a concept! Sure is . . best of both worlds I guess :p:but does it glare when you watch tv in the dark and the tank is lit? Actually it did at first, But you get use to it and hardly notice it now. I just can't open the light cover or it blinds everyone :beachbum:you are a brave man putting the TV that close to the tank. You must be crazy or just that damn good! Well, that was the wife's idea (requirement) I just had to figure out how to tie it all together. I told her in order to put the TV/Home entertainment stuff there, I had drill holes in the floor and put all my lighting, sump etc. downstairs. She said "Sounds good to me just make it look like it belongs there" Ya gotta love her :love1:
Plus I really like drilling holes in the floor :hammer:

Mike, you tank looks great for two weeks. I think you will eventually have an awesome tank! Take your time, go slow...

BTW, I like your website.
