My all time fav TOTM.. cool and different

[becon776]

Don't know why but I ALWAYS remember to this very day this tank. pretty much NO SPS NO LPS. but incredible nonetheless. Plus this guys setup is way non standard. very cool.

I remember that one. Jerome used to patrol the Zoanthid Forum here on RC but life's thrown him a curveball and he hasn't been around much lately.

he's the man for sure, especially on the subject of zoos. the beauty of that tank was it's simplicity.

 

[RGC]

That is my type of tank. I love the softies tanks.

thanks, Jeff.

TOTM on RC is a great honor but hardly my driving force.

The divided scape is my favorite in any tank. I always think of Moses parting the Reed Sea.

To get back to topic, I have been craving an all zoanthid display tank.

Boy, I'm tempted to set up an all zoanthid nano. While I'm at it, let's add a Malawi cichlid tank to the mix as well.

I like being married, so unless I can find room in my classroom (doubtful), those thoughts will be occupying the back burner.

I think that Gary should make another attempt at totm. I have never seen his tank in person but the pictures are insane!

I don't know what it is but mucho's tank makes my heart pitter-patter. There are so many beautiful tanks in those articles (like Gary's of course) and somehow Mucho's stands out, it's very very different.

 

[Piazzon12]

I always loved that tank also! I figure that one day, once I get tired of the demanding SPS, my tank will head in that direction as well

 

[Capt_Cully]

Having tried to get a separate zoo garden tank going, it's my opinion that mucho's tank would be very difficult to mimic. Zoos are so fickle. One minute they're doing great, next minute poof, gone. That tank really was amazing.

Don't forget Archie Luz's tank. This one is sweet too!

Both of these tanks plus Paul B's tank (http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=727454) were the inspirations for my current setup.

 

[becon776]

Gary absolutely NO offense intended by not mentioning your masterpiece. I remember the previous tank... that freakin anenome that had plans to take over the world.. and quite possibly the biggest fish I have seen outside of a tank that needs to be fed by a diver.

I guess mucho's tank always sticks in my head just because it's so different with regard to husbandry, maintenance, equip etc... I think today I'm gonna go out and stop and see the godfather... p.s. gary..I found that piece of digi, now to see if it colors up from the current brown.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

no offense taken :lmao:

it seems only appropriate that I provide a link to Playfair's TOTM here:

http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-02/totm/index.php

many of the corals seen in his aquarium are still alive in URS member's reef aquariums to this day!

 

[becon776]

yeah that tank was SICK! he went from cutting edge with bleeding edge for the time. Oh, and should have identified the godfather.... Progno. it's all his fault I'm in this menagerie.. hahahahah

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Progno the Godfather? :lmao:

I guess you're right. MO was here before anybody else.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

check this one out. Excellent progressive pix:
