SPS in Greece

antesco · 09/01/2006, 10:34 AM

First of all I want to apologise for beating you today in basketball in the world cup semi-finals. Its the first time ever and it was a good game. No hard-feelings, I hope.

As a kind gesture, allow me to present some of the SPS I keep in my tank, which more or less are the best we can shop around in Europe. Maybe you want to give me your opinion....

I wish we could swap frags with friends here, but Transantlantic is not easy and customs need a lot of paperwork....

Very eloquent buddy

Nice tank, what are some of the specs? any pictures of the sump/ skimmer?

antesco · 09/01/2006, 12:08 PM

Well it all started a year ago. I used to have a 400ltrs in our playroom and behind the wall was the garage that hosted the sump.

Then I removed the tank, to open a hole in a 30cm thick concrete wall,

build a stainless steel base

put it in place

build the tank

and the rock base

and put everything in place

antesco · 09/01/2006, 12:15 PM

then I decided to build a better sump,

and slowly start-up the system

and move the contents of the old tank into the new one.

and this is how it looked from the inside

a few months later

then back in May

and recently

In addittion to the SPS, there are 10 beautiful Tangs leaving in these 1250ltrs in perfect harmony.

Thanos, nice tank. The USA team deserved it...they do not set it up well for international play.

There is a book I read long ago, Shibumi by Trevanian. It is fiction, my favorite chapters involved a Greek character. If you get it lmk how well the author portrayed your heritage. I'd love to visit you paradise.

Well.... 4 months ago, when my stock increased, I decided to switch to something bigger, like this little Deltec monster, which I just love !

Same for the CR....

clkwrk · 09/01/2006, 05:44 PM

Very nice setup. It's also good to see that you get most of the same corals we get over here.

NuclearReefs · 09/01/2006, 05:54 PM
