Inwall tank build with corals that "Sway"!

[blide]

What's the temperature like in that fish room? I'm kinda worried bout those wines you have there!!! I'm just assuming its gotta be pretty warm inside that room...

It runs about 1 or 2 degrees higher than the temp outside the room and the humdity is minimal. If you go a few pages back there's a write up about the exhaust fan that I installed and how I hooked to my controller to exchange the air every hour. Plus to minimize the heat I only run 4 T5 bulbs during the day and 2 in the evening which cuts way back on the amount of heat created. That's one of the main reasons I got the ATI sunpower unit because of it's ability to have increased par levels with less bulbs. Another great thing about running a softy tank is that you don't have to have a ridiculous amount of light to grow nice coral. :spin2:

Pics coming soon...

I just finished reading through the entire thread. Kudos to you! One of the most beautiful and thought out aquariums i have seen my 10+yrs in the hobby. Happy fish, corals and wife. You are doing something right!

Wow, what a beautiful and inspirational tank! I can't get enough of it. Growth is phenomenal, and your photography skills are great--such color! Nice job.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I've been fighting the red flatworms a little but overall the tank is doing well. :bounce2:

WOW This tank is amazing!! I just went through all the pages of the build, it's so cool how tanks evolve and grow. Congrats on an awesome tank!

I am loving that bright green tree leather in the upper left hand corner!

Amazing build! Inspiration to all, the wine room completed the build. Every tank should have a fish/wine room.

Those pink and green colt are beautiful, I have never seen them and wish we have those around here. At best we get yellow or green leather, and once I have a pink kenyan tree, everything else we get here is ugly tan/brown as far as softies are concerned.

Is that devils hand bleached out or actually white?

It's a recovery coral that I got from a friend and it has slowly been getting its color back. The funny thing is most people that see it in person say its looks awesome in white. :rollface:
