Like Jon said, truly an inspiration. Any chance you want to recap any dosing schedules, maintenance, equipment list, equipment pics, sumps pics, the rest that make up this amazing reef?
thanks
Rob

Thanks! Yeah...not much has changed since that TOTM article. This article has some additional info...

Reefbum - You have one of the most amazing tanks up there with weatherson to me! How is the multibar still doing? Also have you changed anything from the past on dosing? Any other reef nutrition products?

Amazing work!

-Dave

And thank you. Multibar is doing great as is the Regal. Still doing the same thing with the additives....Oyster Feast and Roti Feast are great!

one of the most amazing tanks ive seen!!! one quick question, i have a 72*18*24 inch tank. do you think 2 400w 20k radiums w luminarc 3 mini reflectors would be enough for my tank? currently i use 2 250w with sps in mid to top positions. lastly does your regal angel nip your corals? thanks

Thanks! If your tank is 24" tall then I think that is fine. 18" tall and I would think that 250s would be fine. I personally go by the rule of 1 halide per 2' of tank so you may want to think about adding one more. However, it all depends on how you aquascape and what you are ultimately trying to achieve in color and growth. And the Regal only occasionally nips at SPS, although he doesn't do any real harm. He helps fight back all that growth He has more of an appetite for LPS.

Unbelievable! :thumbsup:

What are you using for flow? I'll look through your TOTM article to find an answer but I'd imagine you've had to add quite a bit since to get in between that dense growth..

Thanks Ian! I started the tank with 2 Tunze 6200s with a Tunze 7095 Multicontroler. ABout a year ago a added one Ecotech Marine MP40. My 2 Blueline 70s also are a big part of the flow but I do have them throttled back a bit.

Simply inspiring to us new salts!!!

 

[Lyfey]

Always been a favorite and I try to emulate as much as possible!!

What setting do you have your vortech on?

I am running a 75 with 2 vortech mp40w ES and I cant decide whether the new ES wave mode or reefcrest is better?

Thanks

Chris

[ReefBum]

Once again many, many thanks for the great compliments!

Yep....it is an unfinished basement. I call it the tank's "nerve center"

Your tank is so beautiful! I always say that not a method is the most important but a man. Your tank proves that. I'm really under the impression. I can't find appropriate words but I feel you're a kindred spirit.
Congratulations!
