danano's 110g @ 2 yrs

danano · 03/29/2006, 07:52 AM

After one major rescape and several smaller ones, here's how my 110g looks today... after 2 years. Colonies that outgrew the tank were "removed". The stags have required regular pruning. And lowering the reefscape involved the removal of about 60lbs of LR.

side view

sps, sps and more sps... and flame angel. I also have a potters, cherub and multicolour. Other than an occasional nip at a polyp or two, the pygmy angels have been good reef citizens.

Danano- your tank is my favorite of all the TOTMs. Sorry for the a$$ kissing, just the truth.

wow!!! How much do you guys pay for corals there in Singapore?
Cheaper since its closer to Indo and neighboring tropics?

G-money · 03/29/2006, 01:43 PM

It's a beaut!

Nice work, danano.

onthefly · 03/29/2006, 02:02 PM

I remember all the way back to the 10 gallon........Then the 30ga (which is still my fav

)

Have you noticed any lightening since removing the sand?

Always an inspiration!

Sweet reef! What percentage were grown from frags? Aquacultured colonies? Wild colonies?

I also remember the NR.com day's when you were pushing the limits of what could be done in a 30g tank. As always beautiful.

They're both 50/50 with any corals, but the reagal is much more of a delicate and hard to keep fish.
