For everyone to understand it will be in english!

Carlos your tank looks amazing and even more knowing how hard it is to set up one of this in Venezuela.

I recently graduated as an ME in the US were I had a couple reef tanks going, but i had to take them down since I move back to Venezuela after graduation. I been wanting to set a system here at home but I need info on the people that bring the life stock from indo and red sea. I notice that is mainly what you have. Most of the equipement I own. If you can elavorate on the history behind this beatiful tank it will help alot. It will be great if one day i can visit your tank.

Hi Andres:

Thanks for your comments. Let me see if I understood. Are you saying that you live in Venezuela?

If you are, of course you can visit my home and check my tank, no problem with that.
 
2 things:
- What do you have as a back up power source? Im from Venezuela and I know there is a lot of power failures.
- Give that poor turtle a real home. Im not sure how much do you know about red eared sliders but if you knew a little you'll be feeling horrible having it in that tiny thing :), plus it seems that you can afford it too.
BTW you have lumenbright reflectors not lumenarc.

Again, really nice tank i bet people down there drool when they see it.
 
Very funny you two guys about the turtle. It is of my doughter

Off Topic
I promise that the turtle will have a mansion soon

Ganjero:

1.- I don't have any power back up. It is really that in Venezuela there is power failures but doesn't in my County. It is very weird.

2.- You are right I have lumenBRIGHT reflector, sorry for that mistake.

I'm surprized that hydnophora in the center rear hasn't eaten the pocillopora beside it. In this picture they look very close to each other.
 
Yes Carlos I do live in Venezuela, and I will like to see your tank one day.

Where did you get all those beautiful fish and corals that are not native to the carribean?

Oldude:

The hidophora is not beside the pocillopora, it is behind (about 10 4"), but the picture doesn't let you see exactly where is. I know hidnophora will kill any coral that it touches.

I guess we know who will be President and Vice-President of the New Venezuelan Reef Society.

Jajajajajaja, very good...........

No problem, when ever you want.

If you live in Venezuela you shoud know about Mundo Marino in Maracaibo, Pajarolandia in Caracas and Seaquarium La Chinita also in Caracas. I think they have the most beautifull fish and corals.

But sometime we have the opportunity of bring our corals to here when we travel to USA. I have about 5-6 corals that were imported by myself when I was traveling to Miami. And another hane we are a big (not like you never) group that have some frag coral "interchanges" (I think it is wrote like this)

Again thanks so much for your comments.
 
Hi Carlos, Nice tank.

I am in Carúpano at the moment. When I get back to Caracas I will try to find time to visit the shops you mentioned.
