Last weekend while visiting the COMAS club at CRASE, I got to stop by Paul Whitby's beautiful 600g reef. It is 2.5 years old, and in a hybrid tank by AGE. Paul had them create a tank that has an acrylic perimeter glued to the PVC base, but the panels are starphire glass.















This M. undata is pretty with the pink section woven amidst the green.



A few gems are hidden in the shadows like this very nice Torch coral.



A mixed Frogspawn makes a beautiful showpiece.







Paul accesses the back of the tank from the kitchen side. The plumbing runs out into a room in his garage that houses the sump.

    That tank is beautiful! Love the variety of coral and fish, although I seems like there should be more fish in there. What may I ask is the purpose of the hybrid build? Also he may want to spend some time behind that tank, quite the trip hazard!

    The contrast between neighboring corals is awesome. Someone did a great job on thinking of the future when placing each coral.

    Shawn - my pictures are 770 pixels wide and hosted on my other site. If you can resize them to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, then upload them to Photobucket, you can share them at a good size that fits most monitors.
