Tank of the Month - March '06 - Page 5

ItsMee · 03/07/2006, 08:14 PM

Are there any concerns with having the sump room in a garage? I assume the garage couldnt be used to park a car because of exhaust?

Fernando Chang · 03/07/2006, 09:22 PM

Hugo, my congratulations for yr beautiful reef tank from Panama!!I have a question for you abt the reactor you use to maintain the alkalinity, can you give more information ?
thanks.

the reflectors i can move up and down because they arnt permant nailed i have them aon a wire that i can pull down and up

shanekennedy · 03/08/2006, 07:18 AM

do you do anything unique to maintain coloration. so often i see beautiful corals fade to dull paleness. your coral's colors a deep & vivid. very nice.

Cutiewitbooty · 03/08/2006, 03:56 PM

wow beautiful tank, where do you sell your frags?

gregr · 03/08/2006, 09:14 PM

Hugo- the pleasure was all mine. I enjoyed taking the pictures and just watching that amazing tank... and I really really enjoyed the food! Your wife is an awesome cook

Mario- thanks I appreciate but I have to say your pictures are spectacular- and I don't think using the top-down box is cheating at all- just another tool of the trade.

You're in Westminster, CA? You're my neighbor. Maybe I can see it one day in person dude. Nice stuff.

myusername · 03/09/2006, 01:50 AM

HI Hugo, as good, as the picture are. they don't do your tank justice. your tank looks a whole lot better in person.

PS, Thank you for all the corals.

gmatt · 03/09/2006, 06:25 AM

Wow!!!

Just fantistic!

this gives me a goal!

califreefnut · 03/12/2006, 09:59 PM

UNBELIEVEABLE! Yours is the most inspirational tank I have ever seen. You have corals I have never had the pleasure of seeing before. I am in SoCal also, did you get all of them from other RC members or do you have a fav store around here? Would love to study your tank when I set up my 100g!

miston · 03/12/2006, 10:24 PM

absolutely AMAZING!!! Congratulations!!!

btw, you should/they should really show a pic of your tank with the canopy on!! It looks great!

I don't really do anything specaial. I just do my water check every two weeks and feed my corals with frozen cyclopesis and i'm checking my water quality.

Beautiful tank!

"Every third day I also mix in some Liquid Life BioPlanktonÃ‚Â® with the Cyclops-Eeze to feed the clams. I typically feed only once a day in the late afternoon prior to the lights tuning off."

Is there any reason why you feed prior to turning off the lights?
