Kip, I had no idea!! What a stunning tank, you totally earned this recognition. :thumbsup:

 

[EricBrian]

Congrats. Beautiful tank. Well deserved.

Kip, this recognition is long overdue, IMO. Your tank has been an inspiration to me for quite some time, and all your willingness to help me out and answer questions when I was converting my own tank to SPS is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations!!!

'preciate-it

all of that hard work hacking into RC and substituting my tank for the real tank of the month paid off

j/k

big thanks to skipper and the good folks at RC for being so kind to feature my reef.

[menard]

Congrats !!!...... KIP
Great looking tank man.
All that hard work pays off indeed, huh ?

 

[Kip]

thanks folks!


hard work... nah.. i just have a company come in and do it all for me

wait... wake up!

yeah.. there have been many a frustating moment, but having my hand in everything that was done is a bit gratifying.

going round and round over lighting wasnt fun

and to update... i quickly went from the 250wXM10ks to 400w EVC10ks... i just couldnt get the XMs to cooperate. I think i am now finally settled on lighting (i said that after going to the radiums, so who knows)

i was gonna get that updated in the article, but skipper was already getting mad at me changing the lighting every week up until this months issue was posted. i didnt wanna further aggravate him

 

[affan]

Beautiful tank. Congratulations. I hope I can get myself to this level soon

 

[KEEPERZ]

good stuff KIP!!! big ups to you- which ballast is pushing your evc 10k's and which pump is dosing your kalk?Thanks-

 

[Jamesurq]

Gotta love it Kip.

Congrats!

 

[jay24k]

Grats on the totm. It looks very nice. I always enjoyed looking at your tank.

 

[Kip]

further thanks to the recent congrats....

i am running pfo mag135 (m59s run them the same)

dosing kalk with reef fillers (there is a pic in the article... garage shot.. shows them lined up ... 4 of them in a row... blue pumps... above the k-reactors).... 1 goes to my softy tank (via one of the k-reactors)... 1 is the primary for the featured stony tank, 1 is a backup, and 1 is for the QT when i have it offline for hypo
