Hi Joe,

It seems that the Dendronephthya installed in the right side of the tank have now been in the system for well over one year. There is a phytoplankton reactor on the system.

It would be very interesting to find out how the Dendronephthya are doing at this time (14 months?). This information would mean a great deal to me.

How was this tank nominated as tank of the month?

 

[Skipper]

Habib found some pictures of it and showed them to our TOTM committee.

WOW..... he should charge admission for people to see that thing. I paid $23 to go to Shedd Aquarium and none of their reef tanks were even CLOSE to that incredible. Job well done sir. I was speechless looking at the pictures.

Just had to bump this TOTM so as to continue the sense of inadequacy felt by all reefers after looking at this tank.

Here are some more recent shots of this fantastic reef in our little country below sea level.

He feeds lots and lots.....

They have a separate tank in the equipment room with these little guys ! :eek2:

Just astounding. I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I first saw this tank and I'm still in awe of it.

 

[Haddonisreef]

Wow nice pics! In Amsterdam i think that it would be more then enough fun to sit in front of your tank:bum:

 

[Volkman]

Since there is not a TOTM up yet, I gotta bump this one... OH MY GOD!!! I am speechless!!! WOW!!!
