Hi

Wow, can you say time to frag,,lol.. Beautiful picture..How old is your reef?? And what size tank is the display??

Welcome MR also..

 

[ScottK]

Welcome to the board! Wow, what a beautiful tank! How big and how old is it? What equipment do you run?

 

[Josh]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Can you tell us about your calcium supplementation?

 

[Treef]

Oh wow those colonies are beautiful! Welcome to MR

 

[prattreef]

Welcome Simon. Nice to see you here. The tank looks wonderful.

 

[Simon Garratt]

Yes, come on si. I know i took a few more shots than that, so dont keep these nice people waiting...

Gotta say, this is (in my opinion) probably the most stunning tanks in the Uk at the moment, and a real credit to Simon's skills as a reef keeper. The growth is just ridiculous. You cant see it the shot, but the big table acro on the left is about 2 1/2 feet across.

Regards

Simon.

And if you think thats confusing..Both our wives are called Emma..and we both get a lot of stick for the amount of time we spend on reeftanks..

Anyway, I'll leave simon (the other one that is) to fill in the details...see i told you it was confusing...:splitspin

Thanks for all kind comments on tank

Tank has been running nearly four years

Its 92"x32"x44" with Diamante Front glass was built on site by myself, Simon Garratt and good friend of ours Kevin Douglas.

It has a 8" weir in each back corner and is drilled with in base to run six closed loop outlets which are powered by a Red Dragon 14000 ltr pump via Oceans motions four way.

Its is skimmed by a Deltec AP 902 and an H&S 3x1260.

Lighting is 4 x 400w BLV 10k with Icecap ballasts and 8 x 39w Aqua science 20k tubes.

System is controlled by IKS.

Calcium addition is via a very large Simon Garratt Calcium Reactor which holds around 20-30kg of coral branch media.

:bigeyes:

Wow that's impressive. How have you dealt with keeping pests out of the tank?
Did you ever have to deal with AEFW's ? that's been a problem for some great acro tanks over here.
