Pieter, congratulations, truly an amazing tank.
I've had the pleasure to see this tank for real. If you stand in the middle, near the glass and you look to your left or right, you have the impression you're standing in the middle of a coral reef, without getting wet! It's really a breathtaking experience!
This tank is set in a big showroom for fireplaces (if that's the correct word for it)!
Beautifull tank!! :eek1:

Yea, that tank is probably the cleanest, most waste free aquarium I have ever seen. I doubt he has many questions to ask for help. Looks Perfect!

Macnreef- the guy the owns the www.orgeonreef.com tank suggests that his bill was upped to 300 a month extra due to the tank and his isn't nearly as illuminated as this one. Im sure this guy using RedDraggon pumps helps out a lot too.

Very impressive, absolutely stunning.
While this tank of the month is clearly beautiful and envy of every hobbist, I'd like to ask something slightly different. This tank is setup less than 1 year (not sure exactly how long, but the article mentions the initial remodeling date). Should we celebrate a tank that's in its infancy? If achieving a balanced (and beautiful) miniecosystem is one the goals of this hobby, then longevity is clearly an important consideration. There are several tanks that've been around for a long time, I propose we consider "old" tanks for TOM too. Again, this is not a criticism of this tank, which may be just as beautiful in 10 years.

Thanks! I live in Florida but I'd still buy a fireplace from him just to check out the tank!
I don't think that a tank should be looked at less because of it's success early on, rather it is more of an accomplishment to be able to make the ecosystem work correctly quickly.

Yes, Sinbad. We consider old tanks too. If you'd like to nominate some, feel free to use the link in my first post of this thread. I have never intended to rule out ANY tanks from possible inclusion. Small, large, medium... size is not an issue. Nor are most any other criteria.
And, as a counterpoint, should I only select OLD tanks? If so, I doubt I'd be able to find a Tank of the Month each month. Maybe every six months, if that was the criteria.

My jaw dropped at work when I saw this. Too bad the owner is not a regular here at RC. I have much to learn...
