dvanacker's 200g SPS tank......

Thanks again my RC family...you are all too kind. I really appreciate all the nice comments but remember that anyone can achieve the success they want in this hobby if they put in the time, work research and follow the right advice. It can be a bumpy ride buts its possible and no magic pills or potions are needed.

Darryl, how did the outside corners end up so square on your monti?
Have you ever put up any pics of your frag tank set up?...I don't recall.---Rick
The original monti frag was placed on a 4" tile, so that explains the square shape. Encrusting monti can be quite aggressive so you have to be careful where you mount them.

I did post a picture of my small sps frag tank a ways back. Maybe next update I will do another.
 
Thanks Darryl,...I'll have to keep the aggressive thing in mind,... although I sure wouldn't mind some aggressive spreading in my tank of your Jedi Mind Trick.:lol:---Rick
 
hi darryl,i was watching your beautiful pictures and i wanted to ask you what
type-brand of sand did you use.
Sorry for the question:)
went a little back but i didn't find any info
 
Darryl, As usual your pictures are amazing, your tank is stellar, and what I aspire to have my tank look like. Love your KushBerry :).
 
Thanks everyone. Glaukos - the sand is a mix. I have about 1-2" of sugar on the bottom and 1-2" of reef floor special grade on the top with a bag of crushed coral in the super high flow areas.

....I had a few minutes to whip the camera out last tonight.

Hey Darryl,...Always glad to see your name popup on my subscribe screen!:)
Are you still going to put up a few pics. of your frag tank set up?(please)
I have been looking at the JOL also,...how long have you had it? has it grown much? do you need to keep separation between it and other corals?
I like your Candlelight!! ---Rick

Hey Rick. I've had it less than a year and it was probably less than half that size at the time. Its not a bad grower but not as fast as encrusting montipora for sure. You dont have to worry about the JOL's sweepers as they are pretty tiny. I would be worried about it getting stung if put to close to some other LPS though.

Whoa!! That jack o lantern is awesome!!
Where'd it come from?
Nice shots..
Thanks PM me if you want to chat about it.

thanks for the reply darryl:)
love the new photos also
No problem....

Hey Darryl,
Where did you get that awesome chalice you call Afterburner?
Thanks. I PMed you about it....I got it from RR Canada. It was frag size really.

wow this is sweet. anytime you kneed to cut back / frag you can let me know. i am in TO
thanks for the compliment. Let me know if you are serious. Send me an email or PM.

Here are a couple more nice LPS (both grown from small frags)...sorry but no SPS pictures this time.

Darryl, first I have to apologize for not taking the time sooner to read your thread and follow this amazing tank. Second, wow what an amazing system you have!!!!!! I am in between tanks right now because of a move so I am in the planning stages of my next tank. I spent a lot of money on leds for my last tank and I am thinking about going back to MH for the new tank. I dont remember seeing it anywhere in the thread but can you tell me what reflectors, bulbs and ballasts you are using?
 
How have I not been subscribed to this thread?!

Amazing tank, amazing pics and new and amazing pieces debuting all the time. I'm in.

Cap tip to ya Darryl!
