Love it, Ryan. Amazing turn around from a short time ago.
I apologize, I think I mixed you up with your bro. He's got the millennium reef falcon..
You have just as nice of a balanced reef.. Like I said, I really love how you've grouped the corals. Beautifully natural.
Why is Oz so loaded with spectacular sps, in the last year?
I can only assume that the gov't opened it up to local sale. I seem to recall that it was illegal to collect from the Australian reefs.. Or illegal to collect for local sale...

Ryan, your tank is looking epic! Great job, keep up the good work. :beer:
How many fish do you have in there? I think I only see three.

thanks buddy this is my brothers tank

regarding the corals, Aus always had good SPS, it is illegal to IMPORT so we cant get any of the awesome indo smooth skins

Would you believe I left empty handed

Didn't want to buy us anything nice?? :lolpsin:

 

[reefmutt]

Cool!
In the pics, the light obviously look all blue.. Is that the case or do they use a more full spectrum?
I'd assume, since they aren't holding anything long term and it's just for viewing, the bulbs are mostly blue..

Matt this isn't open for public so not for viewing, there is a mix of white bulbs in there, they also keep Some acro long term for growing out and fragging, it's mainly my photography skills are rubbish
