When my tank grows up, I want it to be just like yours.

Congtraulations on TOTM. What an honor. Tanks like yours are what convinced me I wanted a reef tank. I saw in your list of inhabitants that you have two pair of clowns. Percs and skunks in the same tank. How is this working out for you and them?

Thanks to all for the kind words.
JazzMan- Most of the newer pics were taken by Travis Staut. I do not remember what cameras he uses, but I will ask him to respond here and let you know. He had a case full of special lenses and took hundreds of shots for me. My pictures are taken with a Nikon Coolpix 950.
picture the reef- I have had my Percs for almost 3 1/2 years and added the skunks about a year ago. They reside on opposite sides of the tank. It is rare for any of them to travel more than a foot away from their homes, but I did see one of each in a stare down when an accidental meeting took place not long ago. Things got a little tense in Clownville for a few seconds, but the skunk quickly retreated.
Melev- Travis does take some amazing shots!

Isn't there a tradition when you get the honor of having Tank Of the Month that you have to buy everyone a drink at the next MACNA? I think I have heard that before, if not i think you need to get this started this weekend. See you at the bar friday night.:beer: Oh and by the way :thumbsup:

Great looking landscape. Very natural!
I would also be interested in hearing about your success in keeping the different Clownfish. That's impressive.
I would also be interested in your opinion of the Tenecor tank over the years. Have you been able to keep the scratches to a minimum? It seems like you have.
Does the tank bow more over the years? Does it bow at all?
Congratulations!

Percs and skunks are probably the most docile of the clowns that I am aware of. In a large enough tank I don't think it would often be a problem keeping them together, especially if they host in something on opposite sides of the tank. The percs host in a colt coral, the skunks hide out behind some gorgonians at the far ends of a six foot tank. They curl up together on top of a powerhead at night. I lost my original male perc of over three years a few months ago. They spawned every 10-14 days for two years. I was/am pretty bummed about it. I replaced him recently, so I hope to see some true love between these two some day.
I have never regretted going with the Tenecor tank. I have very few noticable scratches on it, unless you lay on the floor and look up at a steep angle. I clean the walls every 2 days to prevent any buildup that would require scrubbing. I am also careful not to get any sand in it when cleaning near the bottom. If it bows at all I can not see it. The workmanship is top notch! If you decide to order one shoot me an email before you do. I can give you some helpful advice on small changes that will make a world of difference in it.
