I'd say that mojo's tank is right up there with Steve Weast's as one of the benchmark tanks in this hobby...

This tank is so awesome it's beyond words... so I'll just make one up: baldkjfjfoijoeiejfe!



Thanks for sharing, mojo.

(now to find that towel... hard to type when my fingers keep slipping in all this drool)...

LOL my friends are sick of me talking about Mike with the 800G “L” tank!
You have one of the best looking and running systems I have seen in the decade I have been in the business. (I said business not hobby so I see many systems )
Not only that but you have helped me tremendously in the hobby and business.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For your true honesty and integrity in helping people.

Now on to this Rasta Leather frag!



How long is the list?

Sheep? Poodles! Not adding up to a Reef tank!

Awesome tank Mike and be happy to see updated pics when your corals are back to full health and beauty.

Can't wait to get some of those frags from Mike's tank into my state of the art 60 gallon cube "high energy flow" tank. Thanks to Mike's putting most of it together and John(IAP) for building it!

Troy you would be surprised how little I have into this tank. As you age in this hobby you learn how to trade, haggle and blackmail, lol

Playa I just havent had a chance to repost some new shoots, I redid the aquascaping from the pics prior and things are just in grow mode right now. I will try to get some Pics soon.

Thanx Mike. Did you have to trim all or some of the colonies? what acroporas handled it best? Did it make a difference on the frags? although I know you have mostly colonies as I do:-) Meaning were teh frags more resilient?

What would you do different? Mike sorry for all the questions and I know you are a busy guy:-) But I also know that I look up to you as one fo the most experienced hobbiests in the world and just want to keep learning from you.
