Amazing tank,
Congrats...dont forget to thank the Academy & God & your lovely wife who's been with you through everything.........:)
 
Congratulations! As I read your summation, a number of questions popped up in my head, but now I can't remember them all.

Two maximas under what most would consider miinimal lighting?! Way to go!

How much longer will that powerhead keep going? I was wondering from the first picture on that page what those Zoos grew over, but I never thought it was a powerhead.

How are you handling your reverse lighting? Is the room dark all day long so the fish & corals can sleep?

Beautiful specimens!
 
VERY impressive tank. I keep looking at the pictures and it looks more like a 90 gallon as mentioned above, maybe larger like a 125.

Keep up the excellent work! A well deserved Tank of the Month!

Rock Anemone:D
 
I guess I read it wrongly. I saw 4x40w bulbs. 160w?

Lighting:

ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Four 40 watt fluorescent tubes (currently a mix of Coralife 50/50's and 10,000K's) on a Coralife electronic ballast, plus one 96 watt 6,700K compact fluorescent; shared by the main tank and the propagation tray.
ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ One 18 watt compact fluorescent and one 15 watt regular fluorescent over the algae tank.

Oops. Now I see it now that I've quoted it. That extra 96w bulb wasn't there the first time I read this! :lol:
 
Congratulations Ken. I knew you will make it to the TOTM! I've seen Ken's system in person, and there is absolutely ZERO bare space in his tank - it is packed full of life. He should have posted a picture of his powerhead, it is completely covered with zoo's (all you see is the spray nozzle). Ken, if you could add more pictures, I would include one of your powerhead! Good job.
