People are always interested in tank details if you got time post some spec of your tanks (sump,lighting equipment used, etc...)

Kindest Regards

That is simply the most stunning tank i have ever seen, one incredible selection fish.
Hope everything goes well with your new tank, and specs like filtration and size of tank would be great.
thanks

Great selection of lovely(agressive) fish, but i can not help thinking that 3 foot of space will lead to problems territorial wise. Reef tank looks real good some more pics would be nice.

Reef Tank Looks Great

But the Fish only seems way to small for the stocking, be prepaired to upgrade or move on some of these fish Shortly

Very Nice Tank

You seem to have the best of both worlds there & in one room as well

I think I see a spot where you can add another coral in your reef :lol: :lol:

& I simply dont know which fish to comment on they are all beauties, really like the trigger, Lion & Angel in the FO tank

Very Nice

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
