I wonder if that tank was grown out with those led cannons? Beautiful regardless!

IME less issues with competition for light with stags. I have much less maintenance with the stags in my 465 sps tank than with any other type of sps.

I just stumbled on that Orphek picture yesterday too and was amazed. How do they keep up with flow in the middle? Kind of misleading to advertise Orpheks with it if they use natural sunlight though...
Leonardo's tank was really stunning too.

Here is my time elapsed photos...http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...2308288&page=9 The picture I posted early is Feb. 2014....and current SPS most start from Oct. 2012. I only feed them KZ CV (and of course fish poo also...), but with a lot of light (HQI 400W x 2 x 6 hours + T8 54W x 8 X 8 hours). Hope I answer your question.. Cheers...

Gotta' love those stags!! Nice growth sequence shots shih87
For another cool stag tank from a few years ago you may want to look up Leonardo's Formosa Forest - I believe it was in the large tanks forum. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=204

That's exactly the look I love just branching everywhere can't wait to see in another few months do u have to constantly trim them ? Does flow become an issue?

This tank will turn down in next two months since house moving and I will build a slightly bigger tank (132 cm x 90 cm x 60 cm). Please advice if any suggestion how to place stag-horns and other corals.
