I can't believe it, but it's true.

Beautiful Tank!

Troylee · Jul 10, 2011

That's so awesome man!!!! How do you keep the sand so clean around the glass???

BigFeesh · Jul 10, 2011

Brad you have one of the greatest tanks I've seen!! I hope my tank looks half as good as yours !! You're an inspiration to me and many others! Congrats on the 5 year!

Now it is just a pile of awesomeness! LOL! Your fish collection is one of the best there is in the hobby.

justreefin · Jul 10, 2011

Wow, that frogspawn is of epic proportion and your wrasse collection is amazing. Beautiful tank man.

Brad Syphus · Jul 10, 2011

Thanks guys. It means a lot coming from you.
That last pic is from today after a good cleaning from yesterday. One of the other pics is when Tony Vargas made a visit last month.
Troy, I hate the look of algea against the glass, so I clean it off every w/c either with a plastic scraper or vacuum the sand.

How is that new Angel doing with your corals Brad?

Brad Syphus · Jul 10, 2011

The Blueline? Nothing so far, he's just a youngster though. I know heir habits can change in a day, but my corals are big enough now that a bite now and then is just as good as fragging. LOL

How about the regal angel? How does he do?

Znut Reefer · Jul 10, 2011

Beautiful tank Brad. Love all the fish!

My Regal was a champ for the first six months. Then took a liking to my scolymia's and acans. That was 3 years ago and needless to say, I don't have any of those corals. Never has tried my zoa's or paly's. (Knock on wood)
