Holy Cow! The density and variety of life in it is just amazing.

 

[syngraves]

WOW!! tank of the year you mean? lol

 

[Dmorty217]

Well deserved Elliot, you have quite the setup there. I had almost forgotten about the auto frozen food feeder you made. Just WOW

Now that's an aquarium!!! Oh I can only dream.

Congrats Elliott.

Congrats and a beautiful tank. Very interesting method with the aggressive wet skimming!

One observation about the carpet anemone and clowns though (I am a nem enthusiast) -- I highly doubt that those clowns were collected with the anemone, as s. haddoni does not host a. ocellaris clowns in the wild.

Let's not scrutinize, just enjoy the beautiful pictures and tank:thumbsup:

Elliot,

I am so happy to see your tank as TOTM, it is such a well deserved recognition. The things you have done with your system are simply amazing and I feel have advanced the hobby in many ways. I really appreciate you taking the time in writing a very detailed TOTM article as it has a lot of great information on how your system runs and why you implemented things. And thank you for keeping your RC Thread updated and taking the time to answer everyones questions. Your knowledge about the hobby is second to no one.

Your photos and videos are great, but to stand in front of your tank and enjoy the window to one of the best reefs in the world is a privilege (and yes, I am lucky enough to live 10 minutes down the road).

Your tank is digital now on a large scale and is available for the world to enjoy and learn from for years to come.

Thanks again for sharing your incredible system with us.

Elliott congratulations. I have a much smaller tank (75G) lit with 2 AI SOL Blues. While some SPS do well others bleach and die. Would you mind sharing your settings and any tips for operating these lights? I've toyed with upgrading to Hydra52's because of the full spectrum lighting but your tank renews my hope that these lights will work with SPS. Thanks for your help.
