COOL VERY NICE TANK!!!!!GOOD JOB.

 

[BonsaiNut]

Stunning!!!!!

Tanks like these set a high standard for how far this hobby has come in just a couple of decades. Twenty years ago we were getting excited about new "wet dry" technology and Julian Sprung was having arguments with biologists who simply could not believe that coral could grow in a closed inland environment.

Sheesh... look at this thing. A tank like this could pay for itself - I would gladly pay $100 for a handful of frags from this tank.

I have tried both EVC 10k and 14ks. The 14ks are a little bluer than I thought but some people (like myself) like that. The 10ks are really awesome though. Very clean, balanced light. I'd love to have 3x400W EVC 10ks. And those Diamond reflectors are off-the-hook! Never heard of them until my last reef club meeting. How much do they retail for?

[luvtolean]

I didn't know tanks were a matter of national pride. :lol:

Beautiful corals. Living art.

And clearly, outstanding husbandry.

 

[bluereefs]

Outstanding aquarium,numero 1 .

GH = human growth hormone. All the rage in Europe it seems (still, despite NO scientific evidence to support it).
All the rage around Rome,where BC is located ,I dont think many reefer in Europe use GH -somatropin- in their reef tank.
BC is Blu Corali,is the name of the reef shop,the owner "invent" somatropin-GH-method.

very nice

 

[Pfft]

ok.. for everyone who requested it :
The original aquascape (really cool imho)

 

[SHOmuchFUN]

BEAUTIFUL tank and beautiful fish too! That isn't the biggest of aquariums, basically like a 180 right? So his bioload is pretty high with all those fish and he's STILL got great color and zero algea. You sure you aren't getting paid Pfft by EVC, Diamond, H&S or ZEOvit to show these pictures? :lol: It sure does make a nice claim for them.

That's a pretty dense aquascape. Wonder how much flow he is running to prevent detritus buildup in such a densely aquascaped, and coral inhabited tank.

 

[Pfft]

SHOmuchFUN : I wish I was paid by those sponsors (the tank isn't mine.. ), neither is the owner (at least i think )..
Flow is detailed in the article and in this post somewhere...

 

[george_grat]

[george_grat]

[chadhender]

Pfft,

I pmed you about something

 

[chadhender]

pfft,

my box is empty now.

 

[invincible569]

I just don't get how the colors look so well balanced using only 10000K's.

That is the recommended Kelvin for ZEOvit users to get natural colors from the ocean. I have to admit that this is very true from some what I have experienced.

Quatro formaggio!!!!
