If I remember correctly, dannyfromholland has one of those and is also white.

Baros · 11/13/2006, 07:59 AM

Simply stunning!!
Thanks for sharing invince, I think your starting to run out of countries

gasman059 · 11/13/2006, 08:04 AM

great stuff

blide · 11/13/2006, 09:04 AM

Anyone notice how there are hardly any fish in the tanks? From the pics the fish livestock is very low...

Unarce · 11/13/2006, 10:08 AM

Bellissimo!

Hey Corn.. If its white SPS your after I've got a few different types for you. They are the VERY rare kind. Don't even have polyps! Man I'll make you a deal you can't refuse. They've even been genetically altered so that you don't have to put them in a bag of water when shipping!! Just throw them in a box with some peanuts (even the peanuts are optional) and ground shipping is fine. man these things are HARDY!! Get em while they are hot!!

DarkXerox · 11/13/2006, 10:25 AM

So are any of these tanks in Tuscany (Toscana)? I've spent the last 3 months in Florence (Firenze) and I'd really like to see one of these bad boys.

marinelife · 11/13/2006, 10:30 AM

These tanks are great!!!!!

roktsintst · 11/13/2006, 02:55 PM

=O (My OH face)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know the age of the any of the tanks?????

reefkeeper1 · 11/13/2006, 03:29 PM

Some of these tanks look so overpacked with SPS corals. I wonder how they deal with detritus and flow. Even with the best pumps and wavemakers, I would be concerned with the most densely packed ones that algal growth and or tissue death would start occurring.

Corn · 11/13/2006, 03:51 PM

well that's not saying much about your reefkeeping abilities than

Leonardo_ · 11/13/2006, 04:00 PM

It has nothing to do with abilities I think. It is a problem that will occur in every tank within years when colonies get bigger and bigger.

I'm also curious how they handle this problem with detritus and flow.

I've had a few here and there over the years. I make christmas ornaments out of them

For the record I don't have any right now other than 1 I tried to save from a guy that was pretty pale and ran zeovit. I don't run zeo and I think possibly the stress from going from that to mine put the final nail in the coffin. Bummer..

Energy · 11/13/2006, 05:12 PM

A lot of people seem to like my tank but these tanks are what I'm talking about! They are truly TOTM material! That is some beatiful stuff there.

Corn · 11/13/2006, 05:56 PM

but I am still wondering what that sps is with the white polyps (NOT A DEAD CORAL !!!)

jackson6745 · 11/13/2006, 06:27 PM

WOW looking at tanks like this makes me realize how much my tank sucks

I'm tired of these little sheit frags!!!
