Here is a new video of my Reef Tank:


Let me know if you like it. The tank is going to be 10 years old on May 1, 2020.

Professional photographer? If I didn’t see the fish swimming, I wouldn’t believe there was water in the tank! Very nice... what does the Rock Beauty eat?

Just amazing! I love the diversity and the way you've let the corals mingle. It reminds me of diving in Guam and the surrounding islands. I only hope that someday I can maintain a tank as beautiful as yours.

You, my new friend, need a build thread, STAT :p

Any old photos?

Thank you for sharing
Yes, I have made a few videos and also posted on Youtube over the past couple of years. I have some early photos of the tank I will try to find and put up. Unfortunately I didn't take too many photos because the tank was all rock.

Beautiful reef! What are the dimensions? Besides the huge colonies, I like that you have a lot of little fish with a few giants mixed in.
The tank is 8 feet long. 3 feet tall and 29 inches wide. Yes I like little fish as well.

No crashes, knock wood, the lights are echotech marine radion pro g4, the filtration is just a refugium.

I feed the fish Neptune Systems Cross over diet pellets, I have a Neptune Systems auto feeder and their food works best for it. I also feed seaweed selects for the tangs. It is a large reef so I am sure there is plenty of sponges he can eat and I have a refugium that helps feed the tank. The Rock Beauty I got as a baby, he is 8 years old.

Looks great...... and yet if he frags a bunch of stuff, there wouldn’t be much interest because none of the corals have fancy flavor-of-the-month names.......

These are tank-goals here......

It has Big R Walt Disney, RR Pink Cadilac, Jason Fox Flame, ORA Pearlberry, RR Wolverine, BC Bubblebath Unicorn, Tyree Red Dragon, Vivid Rainbow delight, PC Rainbow, ORA Red Planet. Not sure what flavor of the month names you are looking for but I think they are nice corals.
