Tank Size: 180 Gallon
Tank Type: Mixed Reef
How long running: 6 months
Reason for Nomination: I am nominating my tank, don't necessarily think I should win, but I would like to see what everyone thinks.



Pics:





















I have since swapped the 2 large SEIO's seen in the middle of the tank out for 2 Koralias pushed closer to the overflows which are far less visible. I have also added some livestock including a 7-8" Derasa Clam, 4" Naso Tang, and a 5" Blue Linkia...

Here's a link to a build thread of mine:

Guys, when you vote you just 2nd their nomination. The top tanks with the most nominations are put in a poll. Then the members during the month of march can then vote on their favorite tank, which will become the Tank of the month!

Wow, what a close call. I think it is Big D by a nose.

I hope mine looks almost as good as any of those do.

Thanks everyone for the comments, the tank has actually only been up and running for about 2 months now... Like Krazy K said, they are all unique!!! I've got some updated pics, not sure if it's allowed or not, but here's a few. I'm not trying to win-I just like posting pics... I've changed out the big SEIO's for 4 Tunze Nanostreams and added a lot of livestock including a huge Dersa clam in the lower middle of the tank. Most of the livestock was just transfered from my other 3 tanks-Yes, I am OBSESSED !!!

Thanks again everyone,
Big D
