Beautiful tank Cris! I have been wondering where the tank of the month for Feb. was, well worth the wait.

Congratulations Cris. You deserve it bud!

Very nice arrangement. Talk about some colorful and healthy healthy corals! Nice work Chris. That tank is quite worthy of the recognition.

 

[Project Reef]

You have some really cool corals in your tank Chris, I love the shroom selection and the multicolored fungia. Awesome stuff!

Wonderful tank, love the softies lining the front bottom area. Someday, someday, I keep telling myself.

 

[Frick-n-Frags]

Another great example of a mixed softie-stoney tank that works.
Beautiful!!!!

awsome growth, impressive system.

 

[Flatlander]

Very nice indeed. What a beautiful tank. Agree with Frik, on the nice mix of stonies and soft corals and flowing colours.

Congrats

Fantastic Cris, just spectacular!. By the way, I read your write up and noticed your reference to the Rocky Mountain Reef Club. I live in Denver and am interested in learning more about the club (if its convenient).

Thanks

 

[RockyMtnReef]

Doh, missed the fact that you included a link to their website.

Thanks for the great compliments!!!! It has been a big learning process over the years and this is a result of lots of mistakes and experiments. I never thought I would find myself with the "too much growth" problem but I now need to cut and cut. I always wanted to mix softies and stonies because I couldn't figure out which one I wanted more and so far it has worked out well. I can say that my xenia landscaper (Powder blue Tang) helped or else I would have a xenia tank.

The Rocky Mountain Reef Club is a great way to meet people in Colorado with the same addiction. The Feb. meeting is this Saturday and anyone is welcome to show up. Thanks to Reef Central for letting us have local forum to sell/trade/share and ask questions.

I want to know where Reef Central was when I was starting out. I just can't get over the advantages we all have now to research ideas and concerns in our ever growing desire to just keep things alive and growing.

Thanks again!!

Cris
