hamann's 120G sps tank - pics intense

[trueblackpercula]

I have a few questions.
1) what additives are you using
2) what is your lighting cycle like
3) how old is the tank or should i say how long has the tank been up and running?
4) amazing tank you have my vote for tank of the month
please post some pictures of your set up.

send me some frags!!! Nice

Beautiful! Is it pretty common in your part of the world to use "some" Zeovit products, but not the entire system?

I am running BLV 14K's (mine are 250W DE though) and four 54W T5's also and the color combo is probably the best I have ever run.

Didn't see it mentioned above, is the tank bare bottom? If so, has it been since the beginning?

Tank looks great, thanks for sharing.

 

[DMK]

very nice.

gil716, clam pics coming up camera run out of batt :mad2: its pretty difficult to get nice ultra nowadays, last heard it was banned from exporting ???

purplehaze, 24hr flight ?:lolspin:

Fliger, there are also some beautiful tanks here with full Zeovit system, as for me I'm only using some of their products, FYI we do not have full range of Zeo products here, so some reefers need to purchase it online.

reefarchitect, yes its a BB tank. In the past I use to have a 4inch SB, but had converted it since Aug last year if I remember correctly.

DMK, glad u like the pics
