This has got to be one of the most beautiful tanks i have ever seen! The colors of the corals and fish is just outstanding. Just how do you do it???
The fish look so very healthy, and the choice of fish also blends well with the amazing colors of the corals. Any chance of posting a vid of your tank? I would love to see the movement os the inhabitants. Well done.

AWESOME tank there fastfish!
Quick question? can you give us a brief description on how your water flows in and out of the tank, sump and prop? i like the way the prop is above the sump itself...id like to mimic that. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Again ROCKIN TOTM! Rich K.

UNREAL!!
Nice work 1 question. "Additional chemical filtration is provided by a Deltec FR509 fluidized reactor (photo right). The reactor is filled with 1 liter of RowaPhos and is fed by a MaxiJet 1200. This helps to ensure a low PO4 level, which typically runs below 0.3. " .3? Many people would consider this reading extremely high on the Hanna meter. Obviously you aren't having browning problems. A lot of people I know with great looking sps tanks believe that po4 needs to be under .05 on the Hanna. Any opinion? Nate |

Fantastic tank! The colors are amazing. You're an Artist! Do you have a build thread? I'm wondering how much the tank weighs empty, and how you managed to get it into place.

Incredibly gorgeous with magnificent colors. I would love to ask if your angelfish are reef behaved? Do you have any LPS in that tank for the angels to nip at? Congratulations on being norminated and the honor is well deserved.

Fastfish, I only wish you could have submitted a few more images
  Beautiful tank, congratulations. I really like how your canopy folds toward the tank so that you don't see any gaps. I have to read the rest of your article now. |

Inspiration.
Truly an inspiration to us all!
Question: What is your estimate for hours/week spent on maintenance, and what do you plan on doing when growth becomes excessive? Thanks for sharing such a spectacular tank! Joe

Absolutely stunning tank! Congratulations and great job! What an achievement to have a dream like this come true. You obviously spend a large amount of time caring for your tank and it shows. Your choice of fish are a great compliment to your corals.
Congrats, again jolene |
