This is incredible.. proves you don't need a huge tank to gain results.. I'm honestly blown away.. my tank looks nothing like this and yours is a glass vase.. wow! Congrats and great job

There is a thread here on RTR saying that it's easier to grow sps in a jar than it is in a full size reef with every param monitored to the T

That thread is true but the big tanks get the fun fish

There is nothing more difficult than this!!! Mind blowing.

Thank you!I clean the galss every 2-3 days and change water every week

How much water do you change?

What is amazing to me is how the tank looks literally FULL of coral without looking like it's just been thrown in haphazardly into a jumble in such a small space. This is pretty cool. I think it would be neat to do a small tank like this with something like a flaming prawn goby that gets lost in a large tank.

What!? You gots 2 of these!?

 

[DVal]

That's amazing

Congrats and thanks for sharing this. Scape, coral placement, texture & color contrast is remarkable. Then, of course, there is the overall health of the animals which is what us mere mortals focus on.
I have been designing a vase reef for 5months ( Yes, perfection is the enemy of good) Most of what I've seen is the approach you've taken, however I can't dicern how your moving your water. Please do share more Mr. Wizard
....and most of what I've seen of these pales in comparison to your display my friend

Very nice pico. How were the lights constructed?

 

[pongpit]

This is an amazing tank! Great job! I'll be following this thread as I've always wanted to do a vase pico.

Thank you！

 

[pongpit]

Beautiful!

This is beautiful, I would love to do something like this

Wow amazing

This is incredible.

Great nano reef and very nice photography as well!

Thank you all friends！

 

[pongpit]

Unreal! Great job. I'm surprised at the coloration/health/growth of the coral. Do you test parameters? If so what are they?

Thank you！I didn't test this tank

 

[pongpit]

Amazing tank! Good job! Silly question- how do you clean the glass?

I use Two Little Fishies NanoMag clean the glass

 

[pongpit]
