[lukeeee1990]

what a corker, i'm not an LPS person but WOW

[dave14]

I agree very very nice

[TrevC]

Yeah a lovely tank and the sump is something else!

[chriss]

Very nice. Those yanks really like those 20k radiums, seriously thinking about them myself.

[Shultz]

Nice tank, shame the colours are photoshopped, wouldn't call it a nano either with 50gals of sumps attached! lol

yes, bits of it are very nice (rics) but its a bit of a cheat to call it a nano with a total volume like that, but its a fantastic achievment in a very 'american' style

- for me its a bit of a mishmash of clashing colours squashed up together tho- and is it me, but the whole tank is ruined by the rows of artificial little rectangles and circles along the front with bits of coral glued on.......either a frag tank needed if they are spare ones, or a bit of a eye for nature if they are part of the stock.

Excelent ric mushrooms though - he has the mirror image of one of my favorite ones - mine is orange bubbles on blue background, his the opposite....the hunt continues.............

I would say it's more a case of a lot of atomic and the radium's and knowing how to set your White balance.

Well nano or not,photoshopped or not under the 20000k radiums the colours in the tank will naturally pop so what you see there is what you would most likely get looking at the tank with the eye ..
To keep a tank in such good health with all them corals in such a small area is no small task ,Stunning tank and a huge credit to the guy

How many Nano or small systems have you seen Luke ,I have seen loads m8 online and off and this is a good one .How many times have you heard the term the smaller the system the harder to keep the water parameters in line.Well this guy is doing it and doing it well.
I know some may say yeah but with the sump its 50g ish but that doesn't change issues like getting flow right in a small system making sure the coral warfare is kept to a minimum ,,,hats off to the guy.

When it comes to the photo shop well like many customers that have shown me there pics ,,the common thing they say is sorry about the color its better than that in the flesh but i couldn't get them on the camera .
I have seen 20k lighting and they do make the color pop and getting that in a pic off a camera is hard going if near imposable, So to use photo shop to tweak the colors back to show guys what it relay does look like is ok IMO as long as shops do not do the same as this gives a false impression to the customer who may decide to purchase that coral

stunning setup
my sumped red sea was a nightmare to keep the water stable so respect to this reefer
as for the photos they look over cooked but with 20k it would look eye popping

[pt1000]

got some nice acan's in there , jason can you put some like that on your shopping list.
some of zoa's are nice as well . As you say guy's keeping it stable is a job well done.

this is a tank that inspires my new direction, cheers linz
