Stuart Bertram’s 750-Gallon Reef Tank - Reefs.com

In the middle of writing my book The Coral Reef Aquarium, I came across many extraordinary reef aquariums. In the book, I created a chapter titled “Reef Tanks From Around The World”. This chapter highlights many different types of reef systems, some of the most incredible systems in the world! As I gathered information and photos on these systems—I could only narrow my selection down to 45 for this chapter. These chosen reef systems are some of the most fascinating, with many unique qualities.

We're not exactly new to the hobby, but I feel like we know so little we might as well be! We've been running a 70 gallon tall tank for about four years...but things haven't gone so well. We have a chance to start over and this time we want to plan it carefully and have a thriving tank. She'll chime in here in a little bit, but here is what we're thinking so far: 120 Gallon Reef Tank (SPS, clams and soft corals) 48x24x24 Left hand side corner overflow Two returns on the right (drilled) A few carefully selected fish The environment: Home sitting room, kept mostly dark, Southern California, AC on in the summers.

Now, on to some questions: Lighting: We've run power compacts for years and, well, we don't like them much. We are thinking of running two metal halides. We want to run these under a custom hood (and stand). Rocks: We want to reuse our current live rocks.

Reefkeeping Magazine - Tank of the Month

Although it sounds like a cliché, I must say that, when I received the notice that my tank had been selected as Tank of the Month, I was extremely surprised. My name is John Salituro, and I have been very interested in reefkeeping for about six years now, including almost a year I spent simply reading and asking as many questions as I could think of before making any purchases.

I hate seeing pictures like that because it makes me think that my next house has to have certain features so I can include a 18' tank! So now basically I house shop with the theory, 'how big of a tank will this support, where will the fishroom go, what plumbing/electircal can I tap into'. And it has to be glass, the glass euro-bracing, with that high-iron blue-tint on top gives it away.

I also believe acrylic tanks in Europe are very very rare. __________________ Dumbest Quotes Ever..... Current Tank Info: 3x2x1 CADLights Shallow, Pacific Sun, Tunze & Zeovit That is pretty sweet.

Ever since I started this hobby I have hoped to one day achieve "Tank of the Month" (TOTM), but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen!

The first thing I began doing when I began designing my system was to read all the "Tank Of The Month" articles taking notes, comparing the tanks, and designing my system after them. Tank of the Month - March 2007 - Reefkeeping.com. John Tangeman's (drtango) Reef Aquarium Introduction and Background: Browsing around Reef Central has become one of my favorite pastimes, and I’m thrilled to have my display chosen as a ‘Tank of the Month.” It feels like I just got picked for the Varsity Team. Reef Builder of the Month – Jason Crockett. In 2009 I was formally introduced to Jason Crockett who had just purchased a 90-gallon tank and stand from a good friend, David Noller. After a brief introduction, Jason and I discussed many of the particulars involved with the hobby and I tried to discourage him from taking on the responsibility of a full blown reef aquarium.

I’m glad to say I was unsuccessful and we in the reefing community benefit from his success. My 90-Gallon Reef Aquarium - Overview. The display tank was a standard 90-gallon All-Glass-Aquarium with built-in overflow. The display refugium and sump were both identical standard 42-gallon All-Glass-Aquariums. Both were placed below the display tank, one directly infront of the other. Both of these tanks had to be drilled locally. Additionally, the sump needed baffles installed and the display refugium needed an overflow added. These customizations actually made the bottom two tanks more expensive than the display. Water would overflow from the display tank directly into the refugium below, from the refugium to the sump behind it, and from the sump it was pumped back up into the display tank.

4-Ultra. Feature Aquarium: Paul Bruns 427 Gallon Sunroom Reef. My name is Paul Bruns and I live in Bridgewater Massachussetts. Mr. Kang’s Korean reef aquarium is a field of exquisite corals on an elegant aquascape. When we first happen upon a reef aquarium in pictures or real life, one of the first things we look for is the way that the tank is unique, in what it does well. As far as we’re concerned, this Korean reef aquarium set up and maintained by Mr. Kang is one of the most beautiful and progressive reef tanks we’ve seen in a long while. Beautiful corals with excellent growth and color are draped over a dramatic aquascaping foundation which is both aesthetic and functional.

The striking quality of the corals in this Korean reef aquarium are enough to warrant sharing with you, but the aquascape is also something to talk about. Using a lot of large and long pieces of branching live rock, Mr. Like many reefers, we prefer vibrant bold-colored corals over the usually pale, pastel colors that SPS corals usually display in the low nutrient water of ZEOvit aquariums.
