AquariumPros.ca Tank Of The Month

Fizzio

I started this tank in March of 2005 when we moved to our current location. I have had a saltwater tank in some form for over 20 years. Things have changed a lot in that time with new equipment being available making things a lot easier now than it was then. As you can see I have a passion for LPS corals as well as some polyps because I enjoy the colours and random movement that they provide when looking at the aquarium.

- I would like to thank AP for this honor and also a big thanks to all the members of MACL of which I am a member. Most if not all of my corals have come from frags that I have received over time from our meetings. A special thanks to Gary (reefermadness) for all his help over the last couple of years as well as taking these pictures with his camera.
