Check this 80G tank out from Italy! The owner's name is Brulz and he had some older threads in the Photography forum but I think these are up to date pix!

Ok, it is very nice, better than nice.
Just look at the size of the corals at the beginning - they were already colonies, not frags in my opinion.
I started into SPS keeping 2 years ago and was all about frags, now I too have started saving up and purchasing larger established colonies.
I just want to know where he is purchasing his corals!

Inspirational tank!
But I thought ZEO kills Acros and a DSB results in a cesspool
Just kidding, really! It is nice to see proof that many types of set ups do result in spectacular reef aquariums despite what you may hear from some of the on-line experts.
Oh, there is more beautiful tanks on the waiting list for future DTOTQ's that use ZEOvit.
Like you Dr.Mac, let the aquarium's speak for themselves. It tells you a lot about the person and the potential of caring for corals.
And like others have said, the size of the tank isnt what makes it spectacular, its whats in it.

Here you go..
http://www.aquacare.de/produkte/filtermat/e_tur_gr.htm
"The AquaCare Turbo granules is a pure material constisting of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. The highly porous structure builds a very large surface, that realizes high amounts of dissolved matter. The small round shaped granules are best in a high flow system"
"The most inportant fact for a chalk reactor material is the solubility. The higher the solubility the more calicum and carbonate hardness will be produced the more effectiv is the chalk reactor. Additionally the CO2 concumption is lower.
If a material is pure, harmful substances like heavy metals cannot polute the reef system. Additionally raises the solubility with the grad of quality. This is the reason why Turbo granules are better soluble compared to e.g. coral gravels, allthougt coral gravels has a porous sturctur, too.
Some aquarist think that they can dissolve all substances out of the coral gravels. But some of the elements are very strong bounded and it is not possible to get them out of the coral sturcur with a chalk reactor. Some other elements that corals need are not bounded in the coral skeleton. Coral gravels cannot supply the the reef organisms with trace elements. So it is better that the chalk reactor has only one duty: producing calcium and KH. All other trace elements must be supplied with care solutions. In the coral skeleton structure phosphate is bounded in organic matter. If the chalk reactor dissolves the coral gravels phosphate will get into the water because the organic matter will be dissimilated. Normally phosphate is in the reef tank in too high concentrations and an additional source is harmful for the system. "
