UltimateReef is once again proving itself to be a truly international forum. This time we're going overseas to Canada to feature an SPS tank of the highest order.

With all great tanks this one has stood the test of time and it's constantly evolving to ensure the best possible environment for it's inhabitants. I'm sure you'll all agree that this is an absolute stunner, a sumptious tank for us all to enjoy.

Congratulations Greg.

I love the comment:

"I’ve always believed in evolution but after seeing this I think there must be a creator."


Yup, got to agree with that!

Thanks for the compliment. My reef was started with little more than frags and dreams. You can do it if you really want to.

Stunning tank and one truly deserving of TOTM on UR

GuernseyReefer

Absolutely stunning. It makes all the hard work and frustrations worth while.

I love the comment about the scuba diving. I do exactly the same now, spend hours looking in all the nooks and crannies at tiny nudi's, shrimps etc. Drives my girlfriend up the wall, as she never has a clue what I'm looking at and we always get left tagging along behind. I could spend an entire dive on one tiny coral head and be happy as larry :D

Congrats
Justin

Greg, Great tank as always. Can you tell more about Reef-resh. Not many people seem to use it compared to other ULNS out there like Zeovit. How strict are the dosing regimes and what kind of test kit do you use for K?
Thanks

Hi

What can i say - utterly speechless!!! :worship: i have only just started and as a beginer i thought just a fish only

An absolute credit to you, :applause: well done and i hope it gives you much enjoyment - cus at the end of the that's whats it's all about.
