My new 450 Gal "pail"

[bmco]

I'm using 2 EVC 400w - 10000K (on Giezman Metal halide fixture ) + 12 T5- Aquascience 54W for Actinics and extra light.

RevHtree it's nice to hear... next visit pm me and come to visit.

you have a nice tank and congrats on the new tank. But seriously you just abandoned the old tank and let stuff die? I mean this is the reason prices go up in the hobby and the worlds reefs suffer because think they will just buy more no big deal. You really should think about conservation and propagation it would have gave you more room in your tank and you cold have made some money. Im sorry but people that act like this in our hobby disgust me.

Great tank! Love it!

TXReefer21 you are self-righteous person and I have to say I'm sorry but it disgust me more.
You don't know me and my contribution to the hobby. I don't make money from this hobby and propagation over the years was my fun. Many of my friends enjoy it.

If you care about conservation, which is an important issue, you should've stayed out of this hobby.


Kipping the old tank alive while constructing the new system was almost impossible. Many of the corals moved to friends tanks.

Very nice, glad you're using the EVC lamps! I too have had great success with these!

Looks like your already out of room and need to go bigger . Great looking tank, great to see the progress, simply amazing!

 

[hammolw]

Well done!
Especially impressed with the sand dividing skirt fronting the structure you built. Great idea!

Looks like your 459 tank is getting 'boring' just like your 200 gallon tank.
Personaly I think they are both very nice!!!!!!

 

[bmco]

No, this one is not "boring" anymore. Keeping me busy few days a week.

Stunning! A living work of art.

Beautiful tank. Great work! What are the corals on the back glass in the center that are kind of green near the top?

 

[Dave1NC]

I love your tank. It inspires me when I see someone like yourself who has such devotion to the hobby. I wish one day my tank looks half as nice as yours. Please keep the pictures coming...

 

[s.reef]

Amazing tank, great job!

 

[bmco]

Thanks!

The corals on the back (and on the left glass) are Neon green Rhodactis mushrooms. I hate seeing the calcareous algae on the back glass so I found it's the most natural way to hide it.

 

[muttley000]

Wow, one of the nicest I have seen. Can you give us an equipment and parameter run down?

 

[ptr13]

TOTM,nice work,are corals easier to purchase since red sea is so close to you guys and are things cheaper too? Tell us more on the filtration and all,thanks for sharing pics,its impressive.

You have an awesome tank, thanks for sharing it with us. I do have a question for you. What is the secret to having so many corals that are touching each other. Whenever my corals grow to the point they start touching one of them starts to die where they touch. I run high amounts of carbon but it doesn't help. Thanks
