Excellent Tank, I love that montipora idea.

 

[elijaher]

The coral you did for fun. Turn out to be wonderful result. I was thinking it's one red/green montipora. Love the tank.

is that a DSB you are running in your display?
If so, you had your tank for 4 years and no problems?

Congrats Emster!!! :thumbsup:

I've always been very impressed by your system

 

[lukinrats]

Wow!!! I love your tank... I have a smaller tank, and so it always seems like the LARGE tanks that seem to get TOTM, are just out of my league... I always feel like there is not much about those systems that I can employ in mine, and that is usually the case

I have just one question... Does your butterfly not give you any problems about eating your corals... I want to get one of the ones that supposedly eat Majanos... The only reason that I hesitate is that people are always saying they will eat corals too!

Later,
NathanS

Congrats.

I love the montipora "pizza" idea. I've dome something similar with two colors of m. digitata. I've got orange and yellow branches all growing together. The giant blue acro is amazing too. Nice work.

Great Job!. Nice job on the skimmer. Any more info pics about the skimmer?.

The skimmer is considered a small cone and runs a aquabee needle wheel pump. It is very similar to the I-tech skimmers that are made here locally. There is a thread here on RC talking about them, so check it out. Oh BTW I did not make the skimmer.

It's about 4 inches deep and I have had no problems at all. If you look up under the stand at the sand at the bottom it is pure white like its brand new. I have always thought that to be very interesting.

I would like to thank all that have replied with the compliments! It is very overwhelming! I'm going to try and answer all questions, thanks again.
