Proof that fauna Marin works?
 

Well i get a lot of questions such as, does Fauna Marin products really work?

Well I think if you have any doubts after seeing this you may just change your mind!

These photos are from one the most successful SPS keepers in the UK, Steve has gone onto write published books and i believe now speaks at conferences.

Tank is 400 gals 92"x42"x30" run on the Fauna Marin Lith system with closed loops and wave box's and is part of system which totals nearly 800gals

And if you still ahve doubts, well :question: :lol:

Wow incredible colour. Nice that although that guy has the 'coral garden' thing going on, that he's let them mature into full colonies where you can see the growth patterns and forms. Very cool :biggrin:

Sorry to be the devils advocate, but all this proves is that Steve in the UK is a damn fine reefer. Not trying to take away from Fauna Marin but a before and after shot would definitely go further in proving it's effectiveness.

Ok look at it another way, if you had a tank like that would you put a product in it that did not work?

Why would anyone put something in there tank that wouldn't work?

Ok I understand you want to see this tank from scratch so here is the full tank build thread,

I also should state, I have met Simon, he is highly respected in the UK network and would only use products that worked.

if you had a tank like that and put something in it that didn't work, how would you know it wasn't working?

Lack of growth, poor colour, just to name two.

Tanks of that nature are rarely possible without LNF dosing. He was asked to review the product, Simon is not daft he is not going to put something in his tank he thinks would not benefit a system as dedicated as this

I just saw a "tank of that nature" last week. Not the huge size/colonies but certainly the color. Spectacular colors without the ULNS. Not to knock your product, I tried it and it worked wonders on my brown wafer algae. I was rid of that plague after 4 months, it was awesome.

I think if your changed the title of this thread to a not so blatant product pump, you might find a better means to your end.

That is one nice tank, but definitive proof of anything other than the reef keepers ability it is not.
not the way you have it posted here anyways.

just my thought.
