Amazing SPS tanks: 90g and under.

[SunnyX]

Well I threw the other thread off course so its only right to make a new "clean" thread.
Ill start with this great 80 gl by Broli Jacopo of Brescia, Italy -

Well, the original thread was tanks under 75G as I feel smaller footprint tanks can be more of a challenge in creating the right flow and hiding internal plumbing/streams. However, I can live with under 90G.

Here's LB's famous 20G reposted:

Great tanks! Sunny, thanks for starting a new thread...no hard feelings :rollface:

very cool!

I have an 82g display being setup (it's taken months already, and not even half way) which will be SPS dominated... but the total system water volume will be closer to 190 gallons =X. Does that still count?

The only difficult thing I found about having smaller tanks( going back to the other thread) is lack of space...
Things tend to overgrow rapidly and you end up with something that looks like this.

It took me two attempts to try and fix that rediculous looking tank but I finally did it.

About 4 month since last rescape and yanking of colonies out and things are still recovering from the typhoon. :mixed:

Joefish's 58 was really nice ... less is more sometimes. Just awesome IMO

Kip posted this in another thread. Said to be Copp's old tank ... but I have no idea. My compliments to whomever created this one

 

[MiddletonMark]

Danano's old 30g , won TOTM for his larger tank last year.

And my humble contribution, my 58.
Small tanks can be tricky to photo.

Recently my camera's color is skewed + it's custom w/b is broken. This pic looks worse than in person by far, but you get the drift.

From the end

A year ago I had lots of Montipora, IMO they added a lot.
Darn nudibranchs

This is an older photo, but I sure like it.

And an old glamour shot

Well if my reef had another year under its belt I'd hope to be able to add mine to the list.. I've got a 90 gallon standard.. Just a bunch of frags and little coraline.. My fiancee keeps asking me "you have how much invested in this box of rocks???"

I wanna tag along on this one. Excellent tanks!!!

One of my favorites, cidory! It is a 50 gallon barebottom ...

More pix here

And another favorite of mine, Thunnus! Barely weighed in at 90G.

More killer pix here ...

Excellent additions everyone.

I'm very curious how many 36" and under tanks we'll see here...
IMO, when you get down smaller than that it starts becoming exponentially harder to aquascape and still have depth (in a viewing sort of sense). I'd really like to see what people have to show in that range.

What a clean looking set up.

 

[hawaiianwargod]

great tanks everyone!!! Those amazing small tanks shown above are great exemplary that smaller tanks can give huge impact if its done properly.

Jeez Marc, you tank looks kinda 3-mile Island

Actually, that pic of Dan's 30 isn't the best. He had some at Nano-reef that were insane (the ones he took just before he broke it down). He had a purple humilis (sp?) that was so freaking purple! Unfortunately, when the NR server went down last year...so did those pics!
