Nice tank!

How long have you been running carbon continuously? I was told it can hurt some tank inhabitants if you run carbon too often? If you have been running carbon continuously for a while, I'll cross that one off my concern list.

Congrats on TOTM... much deserved!

Congrats on a well deserved TOTM :thumbsup:

The Scolymia's in you tank are gorgeous!

Very Nice. My goal to have a tank like that one day.

 

[cman]

Thanks everyone.

I'll try to answer people's questions at least once a day. I appreciate your interest in my tank!!

I have been running carbon 24x7 for the last two years. I have a lot of leathers in the tank and find that everything seems much happier when running carbon.

I love Scolymias! For one thing they are pretty simple to keep and secondly they have some really dramatic colors.

Thanks again everyone.

Carl

I think your tank looks awesome, Congratulations on Tank of the Month.

How often do you have to trim back the coral battles for space.

I would love to see your tank in it's different stages along the way if you have a web page.

When I set up my basement sump, I had serious humidity issues and had to get a dehumidifier. how do you handle moisture in your basement?

 

[Reefdude5]

Beautiful! Brilliant ideas about lowering temp!

Lordy Lordy! I just read my future. Your story is exactly where I see this wonderful hobby taking me. I can only hope for the same success I see in your set up. Very good!

cman,
Beautiful, I won't say tank,but entire system. Anyone in this hobby can easily see the research, thought, and hard work you have put into your system. You deserve this honor.

Fantastic looking 90, I love the way you've incorporated the softies and stonies, makes for a very pleasurable view......
