Playing with the camera.

I've had a couple of days off from work, so I pulled the camera out to take a few shots of my growing tank.
My acros have really taken off, now to the point that they are all growing into each other.

Thanks Rev, I have been working on a larger tank, but the wife says no way. LOL

The tank is 72"x 30" w x 24" h
Deltec AP702 skimmer, Deltec PF601s calcium reactor, Koralin nitrate reactor, 2 sequence darts, one for return and one on a closed loop,
Aquazone plus , Neptune AC111, 2 Vortech MP40w, Maristar 72" light fixture with 3, 250w halides useing 14k pheonix bulbs and 4, 39w T-5's
The tank is held by a powdercoated steel frame, so there is no braceing on top, but I have a wrasse proof cover on it.
Total water circulation is estimated at around 12,000 gph.

Nice clean looking setup underneath as well. I'm envious. :still_dreaming:

Gorgeous tank... if mine looked like that I wouldn't want to go to work at all.

Thank you,
That's one of the main reasons why my wife wont consider a larger tank. I have 2 tanks already and I work out of town about 4 months a year. And guess who gets to take care of them while I'm gone. :angel:

IME, once you get a tank that stable and growing......

Don't touch it!

When I went from 90 to 180, my corals were never the same again.....
OTOH, if you want a bigger tank, you can always start fresh and keep the old one!

Absolutely beautiful tank. I love seeing colonies of coral rather than frags. Thanks for the pics!

Thank you, You are exactly right. This is my second tank, my first is a 65g and is six yrs old and still up and running. I started this one from scratch.
People always ask me to frag. I VERY rarely do as I want big full colonies and not a tank of little peices. Even though most of them started from a 1 inch frag.
