Congratulations Ramon! :beer:

Very nice tank!

I agree, nice tank.

I'd like some more information on the "SFILIGOI ACLS"... recreating the natural photoperiod sound kind of neat... but I think I saw a picture of these things in the article and they looked quite expensive.

Also, what is the larger box up top in this picture? Is that part of the controller?

The scaping is tremendous.

I'm inspired to set up a similar scaping for my new tank

 

[parshmar]

Probably the best tank i've ever seen. The coloration of your corals is amazing!!!

Very very nice. One comment if I may:

"I've observed that the aquacultured SPS are slower growers. They practically stay in a lethargic state for several months. On the other hand, the wild pieces are faster growers and their coloration is maintained more exactly after their arrival"

When you refer to aquacultured SPS are you referring to wild aquacultured or captive? I have found the exact opposite in my case. Perhaps without all of the nutrient reducing methods, the aquacultured corals are more at home in my tank than the wild ones that came from pristine waters?

Congratulations Ramón!

I hope to enjoy your aquarium some day...

Up to now!!

Congrats Ramon!

Lobsterofjustice, the ACLS is hugely expensive. I believe just the ballast is about 800 bux+ depending on wattage.

WOW, Nice

Congratulations Ramon.

I find this to be interesting as well for I have always seen/heard the opposite.

I have a question about this comment:
"This led me to build an aquascape based on three elements: a reef on the left, an island in the center and a bar on the far right."
Are the structures just stacked rock, or is it held together by other means?
