Tank of the Month - May 2009 - Reefworks

Whenever I see tanks like this it always makes me reconsider not only how I design my own systems but how I want them to look.

One thing you can count on with UltimateReefs Tank of the Month is that you're always going to get an absolute stunning tank to which the vast majority of us will aspire. What is not always apparent is just how achievable this can be without the need of rooms dedicated to equipment and sub-systems to help support your display tank.

Congratulations Clayton on being UltimateReefs May 2009 Tank of the Month.




Thanks and congratulations to Clayton for sharing his tank with us. If you have any questions or comments then please post them in this thread.

You know what I like mostly about this tank??

It's simplicity in the fact your are not jumping on the bandwagon and using the latest & greatest and yet still coming out with a tank that most dream of. v2 skimmer, seio circ pumps, all within budget of a noob.

No £500 skimmer and no £500 pump, well done that man. It just shows everyone you really don't need this expensive stuff to run a system to be proud of. Love it

Very, very nice. I don't normally like SPS but your tank looks fantastic.
