Well now, that's a reef tank! Bravo!

Gorgeous and nice seeing you!

Those VHOs really make the colors stand out on their own and against each other - the green and purple in that plana are quite nice.

Wow the tank looks awesome

That's the biggest Oregon Tort colony I have ever seen, so happy to see your tank is well and thriving. :eek:

The pix just don’t so it justice! I have seen it and it’s stunning! High fives!!!

Nearly a couple years later...

The true beauty in that tank aren’t the massive, gorgeous colonies, it’s the fact the same Jebao pumps are still working for you!

That is a stick lover's dream tank. Speechless.

Any chance you have a pic of your underlying rock structure?

I ask because the video shows you've done a great job maintaining flow even though those colonies are huge and countless. And gorgeous.

Three years in, and my tank is choked for flow. My rock work is clearly too dense and I'll have to rip it apart (in sections).

Just trying to get a picture of what my rock "framework" should be at the start. If that makes sense.

These tanks make me want to take off early, go home, have a sit down with my tank, and see where we can find some common ground.

Nice!

Still running black box LEDs?

Well, I've had to replace the jebaos every so often

You should be able to see the rock structure on the old video in Google drive now...

Yep... Oceanrevives. I replace them every 4 years.

Well I have a slightly better understanding now thank you. Can you rewind another couple years for me? Or 5? Slow learner here so... :)

Let me know if i am getting warm in order to replicate:

a) Add 400 gallons to my 130G display presently (and proportionally to the sump)
b) 3-5 reef rock stacks low, with branching cemented in every direction
c) Add colony sized SPS of every named variety to the branches
d) Add 20 more tangs to the 4 I have today
e) Double my powerhead count to 8
e) Get a new house or hire an engineering firm so the thing does not fall through the floor

In all seriousness, that tank should be a public exhibit at least for the aficionados who understand how special this is. Can somebody tell me where I could dive to find this in the wild these days?
