Amazing,definatley one of the nicest Ive seen!! Glad to see a fellow Canadian with such a wonderful tank. Sometimes getting beautiful livestock is a challange this far north.

I am not one to check water parameters all that often. Honestly, I check my calcium and alkalinity once every four months or so. I find a large system such as mine to be very stable.

Just keep it simple, man I love your setup and simple is what more of us should get back to. Nice display of what you preach, well thought out and it shows.

Very nice! Definitely need to spend some more time and reread the whole article. Nice job!

Dave,
Excellent read and lots of enjoyment looking at your amazing collection of corals. Your system is gorgeous .

 

[Baddi]

sweet tank, congratulation!

 

[anothermineral]

Beautiful, Congrats! Your coral peg system is a great idea.

 

[250G]

Thanks everyone!

slojmn - appreciate the comments, I always follow your posts with interest.

As you can tell from my write-up, I try and keep things really simple (easy), consistent and stable.

And yes, chalk on up for Canada! Here in Toronto we are pretty luck to have several really good stores for livestock.

That is an awesome reef display and setup. It's an inspiration and gives me something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing.
Well done!!!!

250g just a question on your 20k xms,I thought the higher the k the bluer the bulb? Is the whiteness of your bulbs because they are XMs or because all electronic ballasts do not overdrive the bulbs giving trhem a whiter appearance.Just asking cause I really like the color of your lighting.

Congrats Dave.... Im glad that most of the pieces you got from us are doing well and thriving.

Keep up the good work.

Nothing against last month's TOTM but it's nice to see a large tank with a lot of livestock. I can't wait till next month's tank because I never get tired of looking at other peoples addictions, I mean tanks.
Amazing tank this month, just amazing!

Yes beautifull tank. I almost spilled my coffee though when I got down to the bottom of the read, when it states LONG TERM PLANS--in it he says 'save enough money to finish the basement. Personnally, I'm finding it difficult to understand where the money problem is?

 

[fishdoc11]

Very nice tank....well deserved

Extremely well thought out system. Very similar in tank size/dimensions/layout to the system I hope to build one day.

Congrats, Chris

Just beautiful! Could you please elaborate a little more on your coral pegging system? Do you drill a hole into the rock that an acropora is mounted upon, then glue some rigid tubing into that hole?

 

[tom obrecht]

Welcome to the TOTM club!! WOW, you have a true beauty there!! Keep up the great work!! You are an inspiration for me!

 

[AS11423]

Gorgeous!

The tank is beautiful, but the poor hippo tang looks emaciated.
