Very nice looking tank. It is refreshing to see a tank like yours. It is not often that softy dominated tanks are pictured and shared. I like it. My tank has a lot of SPS and I enjoy seeing tanks like yours. Thanks for sharing it. It is beautiful.

Oh, I also love the Coco worm. How long have you had it. What do you target feed it ?

Lookin very good

That does look really nice. What are your plans for the new tank? The reward of a stable tank is so refreshing after all the work it takes to ge t it to where you want it.

brandon7491 · 03/18/2008, 07:14 PM

the plans for the new tank are for it to be an mixed reef. the rock structure is going to be the 2 island theme with one rock completley covered in frogspawns,hammer,and torch corals, while the other rock is covered in diffrent type of polyps,zoos,xenia,and gsp. in the middle is where it will be completley covered in speghetti leathers,yellow fiji leathers,and singularia. the back of the tank will be xenia. My equiptment is the following

2-3 tunze 6025 power heads with a hydrokorilla nano behind one of the rocks
skimmer is going to be my aqua c remora hob with the box to hide the maxi jet 1200.(the reason i am going with this skimmer instead of the euroreef rs100 is because the softies and lps like a nutrient rich tank. also i am going to have tons of biological filtration)
sump/fuge is a 20gallon long
my lighting is 2 150watt oceanic aquamedic hanging metal halide pendants with 14k phoneix bulbs

brandon7491 · 03/18/2008, 10:01 PM

Beautiful! Do your clowns 'host' in any of your corals?

brandon7491 · 03/19/2008, 03:28 PM

mdcorcoran · 03/19/2008, 04:25 PM

very nice. i like how dense you've made it, or how dense it's grown.

AquaReeferMan · 03/19/2008, 04:41 PM

The tank looks very nice. Good selection and placement of your corals. Everything blends in real well. Nice looking fish too.
