Awesome examples of super fine reef keeping and quality photography!
Impressive to say the least.
If you make it to my home for the tank tour please bring your camera! :)


I am just a student believe me. It takes lots and lots of practice. You should see some of my earlier crap (and I do mean crap).

Here is a pic of my old 58 from about 5 years ago complete with bad photography

Wow that's one big honkin pump on the 58 :D I forget what's your water flow is there. Is it only through the closed loop? Your back is way too thick for Vortechs I know, but are they on the side maybe? Or Tunze streams?

Anyways what about fish? From what I see Blue Hippo, Sailfin, Purple Tangs, Magnificent foxface, yellow foxface, yellow "coris" wrasse?

Looks like the gauntlet has been thrown, who will respond in like?

Wow Bryan. The tank looks awesome. Your colors make me jealous. Your pictures are very precise and spot on.

Well not so good news. Upon Closer inspection the las tone is starting to slough off some tissue so I fragged the heck out of it.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Bryan,

Your tank was really impressive and thanks for showing us the setup too. My wife and i really loved the glass tank and the aquascape. Maybe she's going to let me go for a new tank when we move in summer.

So far it looks like some decent sized pieces are hanging on but not ready to call it out of the woods yet.

Not a great shot but look at the growth on my Matrix. Coming soon to a DBTC near you.

Nice, my matrix just started to really take off. Is yours from Ming or Alex?
