Here’s a few pictures of one of the best Acan focused tanks I’ve ever seen.  It’s a beautiful tank and no expense has been spared in terms of equipment or livestock.  I visited his tank a few weeks back and snapped some photos.  His SPS is still quite young, but the Acans are the real story here.  Probably one of the best Acan collections in Canada.

Here are his specs: 120 Gallon, Sfiligoi light 1x400x 20,000k, 4×29 T5s.  Skimmer is a mini Bubble King 200, MAS calcium reactor, Tunze power heads on a controller and a 1/4HP chiller.

The full tank and side shots (click for zoomy goodness):

Some closer detail shots.  I was lucky enough to get a frag of that first Acan.

The Anthia kept posing, so I had to get a few shots.

And of course the life support for the tank.  That skimmer was a beast.
