Bringing this thread back because there is a new article from Coral Magazine on his tank. His NPS tank is soon to be inhabited by a pair of super rare Paracentropyge boylei, arguably the most stunning dwarf angel out there!
Link to article.
And Aquabacs - check out all the Distichopora in his tank!

^I saw that too. Talk about a dream system...!
Thanks for bringing this back. Amazing tank. I love the NP and haven't seen anything like this.

Mike, I need to check it out when I get back home (working off my phone while I am away). I haven't seen his tank since last October when the video came out. Interested in what has changed since then. Did you get a copy of the actual issue? Was there more than one photo of it?

So, so sick... cannot believe he's getting a pair of Centropyge boylei. Well, actually I can, but damn!

Mike, the article is on their website, but I don't know if its gonna be published in the mag or not. There is actually only 1 pic of the tank, and it appears to be taken without any lights on the tank other than the flash from the camera. He says that the tank is kept away from outside light and away from the public! He wants to give the C. boylei pair the maximum amount of privacy.

WOW! Aren't they like $20,000-$25,000 each?!?

They're not cheap
When they were "available" they would go $10-15K. Late last year when they were rumored to be heading our way the rumored tag was about $20K

He divided the NPS tank in 2 tanks the last time I was there with a friend who delivered a lot of NPS corals for the tanks. Reason for this is that the Rhizotrochus and Tubastrea sting a lot and not all dendronephtias and gorgonias like that.
Although I like the big tank (which now has a complete new, more open, aquascape) I prefer the NPS tanks.
