nice pics i knew i had seen this tank before than i remembered on manhattan reefs great shots love the tank i had voted this tank tank of the month over there congrats on the win here sorry about the previous post accidentally pressed enter :squigglemouth:
 
Nice tank, though I am surprised to see a Nem right in the middle of your SPS. Does he not sting them?
 
Wow that was quick and much deserved.

Congrats.
 
First off I want to say thanks to Paul, Rev, Marvin, and all the great folks here at R2R! I'm a big believer in Karma and R2R is definitely winning the "karma" award for reefing websites as far as I am concerned. I absolutely love the way Paul organized my quotes as I couldn't have created an image of my own sentiments in such a short setting if I had tried. I think it absolutely captures the essence of me and my system in a few short sentences . . . thanks Paul!

As to the anemone, it's an Heteractis Magnifica (sometimes called a Ritteri) and I've had it since the spring of '02 and it has split a total of 5 times now. If you search around a little I've written about it a great deal on my personal website and here on R2R as well. I don't advocate buying these guys as they have such a poor survival rate, but I do admit being totally addicted to the beauty of my own anemone, and I would be wholly "crushed" should I lose my specimen. Anyways, it's late and I just got back from Moscow so I'll call it a night, but let me say "thank-you" and "thank-you again" to all the kind words and generous folks here on R2R!

Congrats Joe! I have to swing by now that I am done traveling up north.

Hi Keith,

Nothing I'd like more than to talk to a local reefer about all my recent trials and tribulations . . . hope to hear from you soon!

But . . . what's a spotlight without some great photos so here's a bunch from my other posts:

Thanks for the extra photos...i could go through pages of pics of your tank!! That sump is an incredible setup BTW!
 
very inspiring setup. you put some sweat and tears into this and it shows. love the school of green chromises. i think we all could learn something from such a great tank.

Great looking tank. Are those zoas flowing off of the rock on the left? It looks so smooth I thought it was a monti.

How do you find an even balance for light between the SPS and rics? My rics turn white a few weeks after I introduce them while my SPS do great. I am assuming I have to much light on them.
 
Wow awesome looking tank. I like the cube look more n more. 25 damsels !
 
A truly inspiring setup. What is the bright green lps in the center, a goniporia?
 
Looks awesome. I like the idea of setting up a cube. It seems like you have a ton of options for layout and whatnot. really impressive
