I used kessil wides for a while and still love the look/color/shimmer they give off. Besides having all the cords you can't beat having only 1000 watts running on a tank your size.

loved your last updates, this tank is heading in the right way and I can't wait to see those frags in a years time.
The anemone and the Harem of clowns in it is the most natural thing we can achieve in our tanks

Thank you for the compliment. I tried to make this look as natural as possible. I love all the tanks that I have read about even the tanks of the month. But none of them had a wreck and I tried my best to make the wreck as natural looking as possible and I hope I achieved that. The harem of clowns was a no brainer. For me it was just when I was going to do it. I was surprised that they all took to it so quickly. I wish I had a decent camera to have a pic of all of them inside the ritteri.

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a very happy new year. Since my last post lots have happened to my system. I had finally got my Kessils tuned and added four 48 inch Ecoxotic strips. Also finally added all my frags (with a little room to spare) to the display tank. I finally dis some coral arrangement as I want to start adding corals to the sand bed. Also you will see some random frags in my tank. It seems my tank is also the recovery tank for other hobbyist reefs. They do come in damaged but have vastly improved since added to my system. Yes I do dip before I place them in the display. I also revamped my fish room and added a 40 gallon frag tank and will be acquiring s 5x3x2 tank (like the ones you see in your local fish store). So here is a small video of my tank as it is now. I will be doing a video on the fish room in the coming days.

Thanks. Especially for holding all those frags for me. They looked great as colonies in yiur tank and the frags from them are great. I got people feening for that blue tip stag. Ive fraged it atleast five times already and it doesn't even look like it's been touched.

slief · 02/29/2016, 05:02 PM

Damn Wayne, that's looking great! Things are progressing nicely!
