I think many of us have our own favourite reef tanks. Some of them inspired our current set-ups, some of them we simply admire and some of them are the whole damn reason we're in this mess called reefin'! I think it's time we start sharing our favourite reefs!

Post'em up!

My personal favourites are Jon Coppolino's Angel and Acro reef (http://vimeo.com/13564370) and the Konolua volcano tank (http://www.konolua.com/RSS/Volcano_Tank/Volcano_Tank.html).

I can't link anything but I like these;

- Bonzai inspired aquascape on RC
- The volcano tank above (it makes my day when I watch the videos over and over)
- Steve's Oregon Reef (this is what I'm trying to mimic to some extent)
- Chingchai (sp?) on RC's tank is also a work of art
- I also really love that Portugal tank with the guy who has all those nursery tanks.

I feel bad for those tangs in the volcano tank.... no room for actual swimming.

I've tried to model my own system after Chris Ward's. I've mimicked his flow, sump, posters and few but large colonies approach.

You've done a great job at it too. I have so many favs and one is Chris Ward's. I don't believe that system is operational anymore.

Mindy why no links? Are we not supposed to link to builds on other forums?

Yeah he's totally gutted and rescaped that whole 6m beast since then too. Oh to be poor.

Oh, oh... don't forget he CHANGES THE ENTIRE SAND BED EVERY FEW WEEKS!!!!

Dude, that guy's sump is nearly 6 times the size of my entire system!
