I heard about this from an online buddy that emailed me this link. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the whole article. Very well done. I truly hope that it has inspired someone. It was a time that no one thought SPS could be done in small (nano) tanks and if they were they were not thriving. So like it says I questioned why couldn't we apply large tank ideas and methods to nano's? Had many discussions with Randy Farley-Holmes on Ca Rx's and side effects on a nano tank and lighting with others. They never could give me any side-effects just that it was "over kill" I didn't care I wanted SPS and could not afford a large tank or have the room as I lived in an apartment in college. That glory picture (Dec 2003) was amazing. Defiantly my favorite tank EVER (had a 55, then a 10, then 20h, then a 58) over the years. Sadly all the corals were lost after a move to the 58gal. I believe it was due to some phosphate issues a salt company had back in the day that many others had. I strived to rebuild it w/ no where near as much luck or skill. Sadly I'm out of the hobby completely now :( Very busy training my two dogs for K9 Search and Rescue (SAR). Hope that someday our training can help a lost person or bring closer to a family of a missing person. If anyone ever has any comments or questions feel free to email me. Thanks for the years of fun, friendship, and learning Eric WOW…I’m blushing. I heard about this from an online buddy that emailed me this link. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the whole article.

I have a 25 gallon nano reef and I sometime feel limitated because of the space. When I see tanks like this, it makes me realize how much can be done is a small system like that. That makes me want to new frags lol Really nice! I have a 25 gallon nano reef and I sometime feel limitated because of the space.

That makes me want to new frags lol

And he was rewarded because of it!!!! Beautiful!!! What strikes me most about this tank is that he set up the frags where he wanted them and didn’t move them around, add more, etc.
