Just thought I'd say "Hi!" over here since I've recently joined.

At the risk of causing a derail (please don't), I would love to see this become a Triton Method tank :angel:

Now that you've had the DOS set up for a little bit, how do you feel about it?

Just outstanding.

I'm ordering a custom ELOS tank slightly larger than the 160XL and this is true inspiration.

Updates!

What a super inspiration, Chris! I've read this thread several times and find new info I missed each time. Did you have any phosphate/algae issues with your Pukani after you pretreated it as you did? I'm about to proceed with nearly the same method for my Pukani...

ChristopherKriens,

I had to join this forum just for stumbeling across your thread! Absolutely incredible achievement! I'm a passionate photographer and I've just this year got into the marine hobby too! I can't believe how stunning your tank looks and your photography is A class! I would love some advice on how you took such impressive close ups of your fish. I have the same equipment bar having the Mark III. I also have most of the tank equipment too.

Stunning. you should be heavily featured in magazines for this. Beautiful home too!

Johnny

Crazy tank man. What type of biopellet are you running for that and what type of media? I have heard horror stories about media reactors but you seem to be doing something right lol.

I feel like a slob after looking at this thread. You are a neat freak and I love it. The whole system is very impressive. Are you completely satisfied with the radions? Has a switch to ATI every crossed your mind? I just like to get lighting opinions, since I can't spend 3k every time I want to tinker
