Well this is no different than what I have been doing for years. If you come on here and claim to have a new revolutionary way to achieve astronomical growth in coral then there has to be more than just skimming lighting and high calcium. Other than his boasts I have not seen anything to support this claim. If it is hormones in the feed then at least explain that. But don't come on here to claim a new method and then not back that claim except with pictures that quite frankly do not do anything to support the claim either. Anyone can get that kind of growth in ten years.
I need to see a series of dated images and relative information to support the results.

Unfortunately I don't have the pics to back that at this moment, however I am not trying to bash this guy. I just want more than pictures that are god knows how old and a bunch of people saying this is the best tank in the world. If he does not want to talk about it then he should not have mentioned his awesome tank.
That is the problem a we don't know what is or isn't true. Besides you mentioned before the answers were in the skimming, lighting and feeding. I just want to see how he achieved these results but all I see are the results.

As I see the results I obtained in my tank in almost two years, I can easily believe than anyone who is a little conscientious in reefkeeping can obtain the same results as Maurizio...
I don't think that using GH is necessary... Strong lighting, strong waterflow, high KH, CA and Mg, nutrient hunting will bring you the same tank...
I have a plate-like Montipora which have started 19 month ago at the size of 3x1 cm, and have reached now 40x30 cm

what a great reef and somemore so old.. but I'm also very interested how u go about doing it and how u started off to achieve this result. As u only mention lighting, skimming and feeding.. this is not going to help much as most of us here also do that..
there must be something more to it and the way u maintaince your tank.. hope u can tell us more about it. Thanxs

I do not buy the 'GH theory' either.
Keeping up a tank for ten years is indeed a great feat by itself, and i bet since the hobby has grown so much we will start to see many more outstanding tanks in the next few years..
Here is a link to a 7+ years old tank here in the US... not too shabby

It takes a protein skimmer of the right size to keep a reef tank going for many years. To many have a skimmer that to small for there tanks.If the builder of your skimmer tells you its good for 200 gal tank,it will do only about a 100 gal reef tank so if you have a 200 gal tank buy a skimmer for a 400 gal tank.You will save money in the long run.
I must agree with some of the comments made here about this beautiful tank. The author is showing pictures of the end result which is fine but in no way does it prove or show that he is doing anything different than any one else. For example I have a frag of green slimer acro that in 6 months has grown about 3" and is about 1/2" thick now and its all due to high water movement, low nutrients, etc. If you do have a new way of growing coral then share it with everyone. Show data, specifications on system etc. or don't even bother to toot your own horn.
