Tank of the Month - December 2008 - a24udi

[MaidstoneMarine]

It gives me tremendous pleasure to wrap up the 2008 Tank of the Month series with a stunning mixed reef tank. This tank is an absolute joy to watch and see, I've lost more hours than I can count watching this tank via it's dedicated webcam which is pointing straight at it!

In excess of 70 fish and with corals the size of small dwellings you'll be hard pressed not to find something about this tank that you just love and want for yourself. It is really quite simply awe-inspiring and something that we can all look at and say... 'yep... I want that, and that, and that!!' Have a read of the article and decide for yourself... you'll see I'm not lying!

Congratulations Glen on being UltimateReefs December 2008 Tank of the Month.

I have just got back on the rig and great to see my tank here!
A massive thanks to Chris (Maidstonemarine) for his help in the article, I don’t think we realize sometimes what goes into the TOTM!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and comments you have given me over the build, you get lots of information from all sorts of people and its well worth thinking about it once given, this hobby is just a miracle and I hope you all get enjoyment from it as much as I do!

Thanks again
Glen

[Magic Beans]

About bloody time! :laugh:

[t0m]

I remember whilst this tank was being built and the build documented on here, that Glen was questioned and probed about his coral addition and fish addition and told he was destined for failures and deaths because of premature additions.....

Looks like many were too quick to jump as usual. Looks fab Glen although you already know that. Hopefully I can pop round and have another look again sometime soon?

Tom.

Having seen Glen's tank in the flesh, I can confirm that it is 100% a very worthy winner. Superb tank. Breathtaking!

Well done Glen. You deserve it.
