KimPossible · 03-10-2006, 09:52 AM

WOW ...thats amazing!
Beautiful

I know this is not your first reef.....or is it?

Joe69 · 03-10-2006, 09:55 AM

Beautiful tank, it really is hard to believe it is only 3 months old, I hope my tank looks half that good a year from now. Whatever your doing it's great, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words buddy!!

Had the skimmer customised as I intend to keep a SPS dominated tank and needed a monster to do the job!

Yup... currently have about 20 fishes including 12 lyretail anthias, but the pic was taken a while ago when there were 7 fishes or so and everyone went hiding!!

Thanks for the welcome!

Vanquish · 03-10-2006, 01:11 PM

Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

Woodstock : It's still a pretty new tank though... see all empty spaces...

KimPossible : It's actually my 3rd. The 1st should be forgotten, typical nightmare tank from a newbie in this hobby, the 2nd was a 90 gallon, here's a pic of it when it was LPS dominated...

Den it became SPS-dominated...

Den my negligence caused almost the entire tank to be wiped out...

Now its this 250gallon all over again... but hopefully wiser this time...

Joe69: Your words are much too kind... thanks for the encouragement!!

cheeks69 · 03-10-2006, 05:26 PM

Vanquish do you do your own collecting ?
You've got some really gorgeous pieces...we need some macro shots !!!

Gina · 03-10-2006, 06:05 PM

Wow! Your new and old set up are just stunning!
Nice skimmer!!!!

Can't wait to see future pics!

Craig Manoukian · 03-10-2006, 09:57 PM

Welcome and big props to you for an awesome setup!

Vanquish · 03-11-2006, 06:51 PM

Thanks all again!!!

Cheeks69 : Nope... Still a non-diving reef-keeper for the time being... hahaha...

But we do get some pretty decent coral shipments here in Singapore!!

Will try to get some macros, but my poor photography is a real dismal to the corals...
