Very nice!! Nice variety

Nice tank!!

My tank is only 5" shorter than yours, nice to see someone else with a tank that size.

 

[Purple Haze]

over how many years have you amassed your collection?

 

[Leishman]

I stared w/SPS the day I met Copps at the LFS! I think that was mid 2003. Most (60+%) of my corals came as frags from Copps, Robz, Geofloors and other local reefers.

Thx for the feedback guys.

I have sold them, they are just waiting for their new owner to get back from Germany. I'm scared to frag my corals before I feed the female, twice she has bit my hand. The 1st time was just a pin ***** and a bit of a shock, the second time blood was flowing from 2 nice holes in the side of my pinkie finger. They a beautiful fish, but I have decided I want to have a ton of small fish rather than a few larger ones.

And the other 40% came from high dollar orders we went in on together that magically turned into "free frags" from my tank when the wife entered the room with our hands in the bag!:lolspin: My wife calls Rik my second wife because we speak on the phone so much... If I had a nickel for every phone call that started with..." Are you by your computer?... Okay... go to (insert company or board name here).com I'd have a few hundred bucks!

Congrats Rik... this tank is so much better than the pictures and Rik has that artistic and technical ability to excel with sps... some people go years without producing a nice tank but you've done it quickly my friend!

:bum:

I have to agree with Copps! These pictures just don't do the tank justice. It is by far, one of the most beautiful tanks that I have ever seen. A lot of my frags are from this tank as well. Thanks Rik!!

Very nice...

 

[Leishman]

Thanks guys.

I would still have a 55 full of softies w/o Copps' and my 2 local clubs WAMAS and CMAS and RC.

Leishman, I know your running LMIII's but what ballast/MH bulbs are you running?

 

[Leishman]

Blueline e-ballasts (400w w/10k XMs) Then I run 2x72" URI Actinics on an Ice Cap 660 (soon to be 4x72" on display and 2x36" on frag tank split over 2 IC 660's)
