Congratulations, Andy!

Beautiful tank!!! :)

Great tank, love the look of the radiums.

wonderful system, outstanding.

fantastic. Simply beautiful.

The patchwork colored brain is simply amazing!!

One of the best TotMs yet, very Beautiful! By the Way, wonderful looking tang, how old is he/she?

What they said ^^

Thanks very much guys. The tank is still adapting to the lighting system and probably will be for the next 6 months or so. The Powder Blue tang has been with me for about 2 years now. Very healthy and seeing that it is the only tang in the system, hasn't showed any signs of stress.

Cheers,

Andy

Outstanding! Definately in my top 10 favorite tanks seen here on RC and elsewhere. Very Nice! Oh, did I mention I like it.

Very inspiring system, congrats on being selected, very well deserved!

that's one of my dream tank...
I have just started trying out sps... still waiting for it to color up...
hope it do color up...

I believe when the tank first started out.. you should have face some problem on n03 and p04.. care to share how u control it and bring it down...

thanx thanx..

Absolutely GORGEOUS tank Andy :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:! I love your PBT. They are such beautiful fish and you have a wonderful specimen. That Open Brain is stunning too. I'm especially amazed by all the plumbing you crammed into that 70g sump. Congrats on a job well done. A deserving TOTM!

Awesome tank!!

question: prior to the switch to halides, was everything in your tank living under VHO's only?

What a beautiful tank ! I'm still fairly new to the hobby, and still on softies and LPS, but after looking at your tank, I definately want to try my hand at some SPS in the future. I can only hope to have such an awesome tank one day !!!
Congrats on being chosen for TOTM - You deserve it !

Wow, what a great tank! The variety of coral species you have is truly impressive. Nice job!

Beautiful tank Andy.

Super job! Keep us posted, the growth is amazing!

Very nice indeed.

I am one also that believes in not feeding my corals directly, there is so much life in my tank there is plenty macro food floating around for them. I do as you do in feeding DT's once a week, or twice a week every now and then if it looks like they could use it.

Periodically I take a plastic surynge full of mysis shrimp and direct feed some of my polyps and gorgonia's to give them a boost you could say. Do you ever do anything like this?

Truly inspirational...thank you. I too am amazed at the amount of plumbing and equipment you have managed to "cram" into that stand. MH's in a 12" hood must have been a challenge.

awesome tank. how much did the set-up cost, the whole nine yards? my dream tank is fairly close to the type of set-up u have, so im just wondering how much i should save up :)

Congrats Andy !!

Very NICE tank

Nice Tank
 

I would like to say that you have a very nice tank. Is it possible to get some more pictures of the sump, stand, cabinet and canopy. I have a new tank I am setting up with a steel frame and was going to cover it with wood. Pictures of yours would be helpful.

Thanks

Beautiful tank. Great set up. One of the best TOTM. Amazing photography. What camera did you use?
