I just spent hours (or it sure seems like it lol) looking through this forum and impressed with everyone's tank. it seems like everyone's tank grows so fast and mine is growing so slow.

Great Pictures, thanks for sharing

SPS seems to be all the craze today, but I really enjoy the beautiful shapes and movement of soft corals. You can see many more photos and complete tank details here http://azarmi.com/reef/profile.html

Rodster, you'll never win tank of the month because your tank isn't over 300 gallons. But you should

Very nice tank Rodster

Saw your tank on reef builders today. Fantastic job.

Rodster -Amazing tank! It could be right out of a Dr. Seuss book.

Wow, this is one of the most beautiful tanks i've ever see, that's the kind of tank i'll like to have, SPS looks nice, but they don't move, nice to see this.

By the way you say you want to upgrade to a 42"x42" do you plan to make all 4 sides visible, or at least 3?

70 tall is all softies and my 70 cube is a mixed reef but mainly softies. I gotta take some new photos all of these of well over a year old but you get the idea...now its just more crowded

 

[rodster]

Thank you for all the awesome comments on my tank.

Yes, our new larger tank will have four clear sides. It's a little more glass cleaning but I think the tank looks much cleaner.

That's ok, the Reef Builders article and Nano-reef TOTM was very exciting.

Thanks again

Yanni, your tank is amazing. I noticed especially how that 70T looks like a good tank for soft corals. The branching types don't get very tall, so them, mushroom corals, polyps display better on a rock pile in a tall tank. Natural looking, too. What kind of current do you have going there? Those tree corals look like they're experiencing some strong waves.

here's mine. Its a 215G (72" long). I run a pretty good current so the gorgs are always swaying. Makes it hard to photograph and my camera is crappy anyway.

Harmonious !

I actually dont have too much flow in that tank...its just the way that the sinularia is growing that makes it look like its all over the place. I use an mp20 on the 70t and an mp10 on the 70 cube. Return flow on both is powered by a mag9 split into two return nozzles. I did the 70t with just three pieces of live rock in 2004...two 35 lb tonga branch on each side and one piece of tonga shelf across the middle. It leaves the sand bed almost totally open so no detritus and stuff builds up and like you said it makes the finger leathers and stuff stand out a bit and give it a natural look..i will try and post a newer pic some time. Almost all the corals are as tall as the water surface now, the blue ridge has actually grown about a quarter inch out of the water..lol..the funny part is the tissue thats exposed is not dead it must stay moist so it doesnt dry up and die.
