I had a chance to see this tank LIVE on Monday and I must say it's even better in person if you could imagine! Tell us your secret please...

makoJ, congratulations and a well deserved representation for TOTM. The colors, placement and aquascaping are stunning to say the least. I admire your concerns for the live stock with overlapping the transition from one house to the other.
Did/do you have any concerns, ( sun light, draft, temp fluctuation ) , with the tank being placed against a window? Congrats again my friend. Mucho Reef

Congradulations!!!! Very beautiful reef tank!!!!
I like how you did the expansion, where you made your own little fish room. Looks like it was already built like that!!! Very nice! Can you expand to me a little more on how you keep evaporation and the fans used on surface of water? I have a difficult time keeping temperature below 82 degrees. Dont want a chiller at the time. Any suggestions? |

The SPS are out standing and the depth of the color is at incredible… I like the graph with the PAR reading and intend to study it for a while… anyways great job and nice Reef!

Gorgeous! Congratulations! Odd question......but curious on what kind and model shop vac you have? I have never found a decent one in terms of picking up water.

Imagine how awesome to just live a few minutes away and get to see this tank in person (and pick up a few frags). As amazing as their pictures are, it still doesn't do the tank justice. The better part is how great Brian and Christina are as people.
Congratulations and enjoy the month! Lee
