Please take a look at the pictures taken of my tank by the Owner of the Cultured Reef. He and other Reefers visited us this past Saturday & made me & the wife feel real good about our tank . Enjoy as I could never take such good pictures. http://www.theculturedreef.com/featured.htm

Very nice Tank Osama. Yes, tell us how you made this a beautiful work of art. Do you use a Reactor, what type of Lighting you use, Etc..

I second that vote for tank of the month! Everytime I see it, it's awesome! But he's not done yet, the best is yet to come............

Great looking tank!

I think the purple A. Millipora is amazing. Very nicely grown reef!

 

[Osama]

Thanks to you All. Always enjoy hearing from fellow reefers that the tank looks good after all the work we put into this hobby. The tank was set up three and a half years ago. Continuously anchoring and modifying rock formations till about a year ago. I have an 8" diameter 30" tall Nielsen reactor & a dual chamber calcium reactor that I bought only 9 month ago from My reef Creations. Before that I dripped continuously B Ionic compounds along with a small Korallin calcium reactor. This worked fine but expensive. I can only maintain a calcium level of 380ppm & alk at 6-7 dKh. I do not feed the corals at all. I used to occasionally put in very sparingly D-plankton but have not done so for a year. I am in the process of getting a 325g tank with starphire glass front. Moving the 180 next to the 325g into a fish room in the basement with two more 45g tanks under the two main tanks (180 & 325) and a new 150g acrylic sump/filter. I will only keep one 65g tank in my study where my 180g is now. thanks again.

your husbandrys excellent, nice work.

Im wondering, is that plate coral actually growing on the glass on the top left of the tank, it kinda looks that way.

Breath taking osama!

 

[LFS42]

I must say

WOW

Some day I hope my little 70 gal tank will grow up now.

 

[Osama]

Thanks again. Makes all the effort worthwhile.
To Mouse; yes the Acro is growing on the left side of the tank on the glass and on the right side I have a galaxia growing on the return on the right side of the tank.

To all the people looking at this tank, these pictures are beautiful yes. But to see this tank in person, you will not be able to take your eyes off of it. You stare and stare and then stare some more. Its like you are in a mini reef looking straight into the glass. This tank is absolutely amazing in person. If you ever have a chance to go and see it go!!!!!!!!!!! Osama also has some very toys, his setup is soo cool. Glad to see it is doing so well Osama maybe well come and see you for more frags some time soon.

kathy and monday

Osama,
You have to make sure you are posting pictures during your set up of your next tank, stage by stage so we can all see the excellent water flow system that you have. I would assume you are going to be putting the same one in your the next tank. Or at least you should. Your current piping system in your 180 blew me away.


lol

osama,
how about telling a little about the lightining you´re using in this amazing tank? it seems like is a bulb with lower colour temperature, 6500k i guess. maybe iwasakis. is this correct?
