Incredible tank. I think that is what we all strive for.

Here is an iphone video a friend of mine made a couple of weeks ago.

This has to be the best 58 gallon mixed reef tank I have ever seen!! Simply magnificent, I tip my hat to you.

P.S: awesome vivarium as well.

How have you kept the GSP from overtaking a tank over the 13 yrs......

Updated pic from a couple of months ago. The sebae anemone decided to move a bit from his home of 8 or 9 years, forcing some re-arranging. Unfortunately, when he moved he stung the large yellow-green turbinaria seen here in the right of the tank. The coral went into a slow decline and I lost it. Too bad, I had it for 8 years, but it had outgrown the tank and I decided to get rid of it anyway. I just wish I could have relocated it to another reefer before this happened. Other than that, things seem to be continuing as normal. The clowns went back to their regular spawning routine once the nem stopped adjusting itself.

As far as the gsp's, I too was worried they would take over, but they seem to have settled into specific areas and no longer spread. I do trim them a bit from time to time, but the tougher corals surrounding them help to keep them in check.

What a lovely reef. That gecko seems to have a pretty good thing going, too.
