Mo's 1000G SPS Tank

[reefmutt]

Mo, how are you liking the Aquaforest regimen?
Are you using the complete line of products?
I ask that without really knowing what the complete line of products is, actually..
There are several stunning European reefs using the products, how easy is it for you to get them and I guess I'm just wondering, generally what your experience is with them so far..

Your photography skills are epic! How long has it been with the new lights? Is the tank 6' long or 8' long? Beautiful tank.

Hi
It looks like piece of great barrier reef.
Incredible.
Well done.

Wow what a sweet reef! :dance: Love that front to back depth, it gives such a natural feel to the tank.
Questions, what did you use for the rock at the sides and throughout for that matter?
How long has this beauty been running?
Did you start with frags or colonies?
Would love to see some behind the scenes pictures as well - fish room, equipment, etc.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Greg,

The rocks are all Korallenwelt ceramics.
The side walls are made of their wall plates.
Running since July 2010.

I started with some colonies and got AEFW, almost with the first one I added and lost them.
Over time, I have added frags and small colonies.
All of the big corals were added as either frags or small colonies.

I will hopefully add some behind the scenes photos soon.

Mo, your photos are very interesting, different than others. Your huge corals are impressive.

Thanks for the compliment Krzysztof!

Your tank is consistently the best sps tank I have ever seen!
It amazes me very time I see pics of your corals!

Thanks for sharing:beer:

How long do you have your achilles?

Thanks Mike,

Achilles about 2 years now. I was a bit worried when I added him.
I left him in my local shop at Southwest Marines for about 6 weeks!
Thankfully, no issues at all.

Stunning display mate. The water flow must be quite a challenge down deep in that sinkhole of acro yumminess. Very inspiring reef :thumbsup:

7 MP60's, 1 Abyzz propellor pump and 2 Abyzz Returns look after it!

Hi Matt,

Aquaforest has been great.
I noticed lots of tip growth and new colours after I started using it.
I'm using most of the supplements now.

The vitamin and amino supplements are useful so as not to starve the corals if you overdo nutrient stripping.

You should try it. Start with half recommended dose.

Sweet tank! Looks so natural.

How do you like the ATI Hybrid LED/T5?

 

[Chibils]

Mo,

You said top downs would be difficult to get. It you ever get a chance from removing lights for bulb swap, please take as many pics as possible. Your tank is one of a kind and I would love to see how the rocks and corals are arranged from a different angle.

Thanks.

The ATI Hybrid is fantastic.
I went from 400W Radiums to the ATI and the coulours just got better.
You can manipulate the colours in different parts of the tank and you can't really replicate the pop you get from royal blue and violet LEDs.

T5 tubes are the best light source for SPS imo.
