700g in the mix-

[mpoletti]

Very Nice Joe. That's one sweet 700 gallon tank, especially for being a tad over 2 years old. I really like the side shots

Steve-tons of tunze lol- nothing like your guys's 6300's though

Thank you guys!! The re-adjusting of rockwork and making room for chalices has been an evolution- I only had a couple chalices when the tank began but that has changed and I really like the color they add-trying to get the best of both worlds. Being an SPS guy at heart- it's been an adjustment for me and the tank. I like how the bottom looks without too much clutter so that is the ongoing battle for me-location,location,location

LOLOLOL- you got my wife and I busting up Kenny, mainly cus that clam is pretty darn big these days but he prefers African.............................clowns-they host it

Joe, I am glad I can provide some late night entertainment. LV sure isn't short on that, I am sure.


BTW, how do you keep your sand so white!!! :eek2: :lol: I still can't get over how ginormous that thing is.

 

[myzislow]

Wow dude, your tank and corals are off the hook. FTS is amazing!

 

[KEEPERZ]

No doubt Kenny- a good laugh before bed was great-that's that BB special white sand

Myz-thank you man-

 

[Jflip2002]

That looks great, Joe. I think yours and Leonardo's tanks have convinced me to go BB.

I agree Joe(Jflip), this tank is a clear example that sand is not necessary to create a beautiful tank.
Coincidentally I decided to add a SSB next month during my rebuild. In a tank without much liverock and a large surface (like the Lagoon) it is much less aesthetically pleasing. But I'm sure you won't regret it!

Joe, how do you keep the bottom of the tank that clean? Is your Cleanup crew able to handle that?
Again, beautiful tank. Even in the FTS photo you really experience the depth of the tank, and that is one of the hardest things to capture IME.

Thank you Joe-I like my BB still and Leonardo's 1st forest was and is inspiriing-


Leonardo-Congrat's on your graduation and looking forward to the Forest part 2- keep on blazing new trails for us all. The clean up crew helps but I do scrape it once in a while- I havn't in a couple months though but coraline doesn't grow in this tank for some reason so that helps -thanks Joe

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

coralline doesn't grow because your corals eat up ALL the calcium!!!

 

[volcom69]

Wow amazing tank, and the corals look so happy and healthy keep up the good work man.

Thanks Joe! On to my next graduation, Marine Biology. But that will still take a couple of years

Hey Joe, how do you feel about a black bottom for BB? The leemarr came painted black already. Think thatd still look alright?

 

[KEEPERZ]

Thank you Volcom!!

Mark-coming down soon so start cleaning for pics

Joe- the black would look awesome when really clean- but if its not it may show up everything-

Chad

 

[KEEPERZ]

That is sweet Steve- your water must be cleaning up real good- soon buddy, trying to set up my "reefers to see" list

Chad that is my unicorn I am trying to send to Mark(MG21) he runs the tank just in front of the PB-he is a plump sucker and he caused the blonde naso to tap out- when I tried adding it from the frag tank to the display the unicorn wasn't having it-thanks!
