Angel Reef

[ryanrid]

I finally bought a house so can have a more permanent tank. I am obsessed with SPS and Angels which will both dominate this tank

Tank is a custom 73x32x50" (185x80x50cm) peninsular made out of low iron glass with a one piece euro brace. Getting built currently




Stand is also custom built and was delivered on weekend, white satin and american walnut

thanks for coming on the journey, think you have me confused with my brother, he had the mitras, the only change i did the past 5 years was going from a standard PM to the hybrid

Tagging along, excited to see this one

Thanks I hope you enjoy the ride

Good luck with SPS and angels

Thanks, I've had the herim of regals for over a year with no SPS damage just polop nipping so hopefully this continues in the new tank

What are you nuts? You can't keep angelfish in reef tanks!!!

Congrats!!!

Funny you mention that the guys from Ultra Coral Australia have invited me to come along with them, need to pass it thru the boss first tho.
