Thanks for all the love guys.

Hey Rev, that tank you posted above is only 100gl.

225gl was my old inwall.

Here are some older tanks I have run in the past. The new tank is still young and growing. It still needs lots of grow time before it can capture the spotlight.

Medium category entry:

100gl Rimless Reef

Here is the same tank later on, all grown out and with Blue+ bulbs only:

Large category entry's:

225gl Inwall

XM 10K's

XM 20K's

Stan(Energy) Genadek's 1700 reef(15'-5"x5'x33")... Most awesome tank I've ever seen in person!

Tank of the Month - January 2008 - Reefkeeping.com

If I remember right this is a pic from the right side of the tank, from this angle you are looking thru 15 ft. of saltwater and corals....FTS, just from the side.

If you want to see a fts from the front you'll have to click on the link since I can't find any on tcmas.

Also, just wanted to mention that a majority of his "live rock" is actually great stuff(type) foam sprayed over a pvc stucture(IIRC) and then coated with some type of resin I believe. You should definantely click on the link above, its really cool to see how he designed and built everything.

Too bad he switched it over to a freshwater biotope with Stingray....

J'Field from nano reef has a 61G cube that has always been an inspiration to me.

Electrobes · Apr 10, 2011

I vote 2sunny's, nano would have to be nvert's (Brad Whitney) from 2004: Tank of the Month - January 2004 - Reefkeeping Online

The two are easily my inspiration, plus Aquabucket as well. Go 40Br!
