Awesome tank man. In the shot above that pink birdsnest looks like an anemone almost. The one on the right that is

Wow! Look at that.. No skimmer? You have a great looking tank there. I guess high priced pieces of acrylic are overrated. Great job!

reefez: Yes, he uses a skimmer.

From the article:

"Initially, I used a Prizm skimmer by Red Sea, but soon determined that it was insufficient for the size of my system, so after 15 months of operation I replaced it with an AquaC Remora skimmer powered by a Maxijet 300 gph powerhead; this considerably improved the water quality."

Hey congratulations on TOTM. I was very pleased to see someone with an everyday down to earth tank win it instead of a I spent $50k on the tank and set-up + another $10k on a equipment room.

Anyways keep it up. The display is awesome.

Hello, first I want to thank Reef Central for the hospitality and to Skipper for selecting my tank as Tank of the Month and for his trustiness, thanks Skipper......
I want thank all of you for your comments.
I believe that for create a beautiful and successful reef tank the main is the love for this hobby and not the crazy equipment...
Thank you very much.
