[MtnDewMan]

Thought I would capture some updated photos of the tank and corals today. Not near intensity as Playa's but he gave me the itch to take the photos.

Dang it Chuck! looks so healthy in there, so beautiful. We all know what you were able to grow at one time. You are heading in the same direction, only more awesome this time. I love your Solorensis wrasse Chuck. The aquascape really rocks.

Chuck you should still have some pictures from the old majestic reef of yours, how about posting a few shots for good old times?

Nice, really nice. Post some pics of you previous tank because if this is any indication of what your previous tank looked like I bet it was awesome.

My tank when it was in it's prime as you requested!! Very sad to not have it anymore though.

Here is the shot on the Reef Crystals Box

And here is a favorite of mine that shows off my now near 14 year old clown.

Here is an interesting comparison ... my tank a couple of weeks after I went bare bottom last September 2003 ...

And Aug 2004

 

[bigreefer]

man seeing thoes pics... oh you are my inspiration!

 

[Angelscrx]

Awesome comparison. Have you noticed a difference in your parameters since going to bare bottom?

 

[Playa]

Thanx Chuck.
You are certainly one of the reasons why I am broke all the time, cause I always wanted to have a reef like yours. Yes sir.

Few people in the hobby ever accomplish such array of beauty.

My parameters that I test have always been good, even when my old tank was crashing. It was near the sandbed that was leaching out problems. So I do have pretty good parameters. I have a bit of a low pH but that is normal for me with the calcium reactor running on my tank 24/7.

Luis, thank you for the kind words. I am glad I could help people out, even if it was giving them a push or nudge by looking at some of my pictures You certainly have a tank to be very proud of yourself!
