NWRC Pilgramage Pics

[Natclanwy]

Okay I am finally getting around to posting the pics I took on our pilgramage, I started a new thread because I have so many pics to post. I always have an itchy shutter finger I think I took over 300 pics on our pilgramage and was able to narrow it down to 151 to upload to photobucket hopefully I can narrow it down some more as I post here.

Okay to start it off here is my tank:
It's a 55g with a 29g DIY sump/fuge total volume is about 70g thats been running for about 4 years. For equipment I have a hamilton retrofit kit w/ 2-250MH and 4- 65w PC's, AquaC EV-180 skimmer, HOT magnum canister running carbon, HOB U-tube overflow, Quietone 3000 return pump, one Koralias #4 PH, and one Koralias #3 PH.

Matt or Local pet store owner's tank was next, he has got a 4ft 120g tank and probably the most organized stand I have ever seen. There is shelves and bins for everything under there. The stand was built by another local reefer "Scopus Tang" and turned out beautiful.

Tim (AKA St8salt) was next on the pilgrimage, he has a 75g tank Acro dominated reef that was recovering from a recent crash and rebuild but a very nice tank regardless. This stand was also built by another local reefer "dennis210" and also turned out great.

The man himself:

The man in the chalice

Tim challenged me to get a decent pic of this monti, I not real happy with the results but at least you can see the color somewhat.
