50 gallon skimmerless & sumpless
 

Hi everyone,

I'll be shutting down my tank soon and I thought that before I do this I would share some pics of my tank. This is a very low maintatance, simple set up but it has worked amazingly for the last several years. I have never battled any type of algae and corals multiply like there is no tomorrow :biggrin:. These corals have been fragged a thousand times and all the corals that are in there started from a single head or a small polyp. Anyway, here are the pics....


Pictures don't do it justice. This is one of the reasons why I never posted pictures before. Somehow, shots never turned out great and didn't really captured how nice this set up really looks in person.

That looks stunning. The variety and brightness of the colors is incredible =)

What's the shaggy purple thing on the right?

To the right of the Green Sinularia? Those are Purple Death palys.

The tank really looks a lot better in person. I have an SLR digital camera but for some reason the colors don't show that well in pics :sad:

Sorry purple thing...far right...FTS...

That's a huge (6"x5") Duncan colony. Corals are a lot bigger then they appear in pics. For example that monti cap in the center is around 12" x 9"".

I think that's his duncan.

Ya dude, pics seriously don't do your tank justice. Find someone with some picture taking skillz before you shut 'er down =P.

Props to an epic tank. Sad to see it go. I think you're crazy for this....

ok what? duncans come in purple?!

yep, the ones I had were purple with green accent

btw love the tank, especially the florida ric's

Yeah, the Duncans are light purple/green.

@Lorenzo, The Rics are one of my fav corals. I think that's obvious :-)

Great looking tank. The ricordea garden is gorgeous and those anemones are just wild!! Love it! :)
