Today I had the pleasure of going to Tresa Erickson's house and taking some photos for her. I walked in and was in awe! Her tank is simply one of the most diversified and well taken care of tanks that I have ever seen.
The pictures really don't do it any justice, you have to see it for yourself.
Definately needs to be one of out TOTM's She has put together a beautiful oceanscape of all the colors of the rainbow.
Thanks Tresa for letting me take pictures of it.
I'll post more of the pixs a bit later.

Wonderful tank. Everything seems to be thriving. I particularly love the Narvachus angel.

This is one of those you must see it to believe it. Pics just dont even come close to the true beauty or color of her tank. There must be over 200 different corals and over 50 fish. It is by far the most amazing tank I have ever seen... ------------- I have flying monkeys and I'm not afraid to use them. 180 gallon money pit that I love..... |

They also have a very beautiful nano setup with other lps, sps and zoo's.
Tresa told me she loves the scolymias and other brains, but so do her angels, so she keeps them in her nano. She also has a tank in her office at work. I thought I had a (fish) problem.

 A pair of blue tile fish.

It was amazing to see all of those fish and all of the different species of coral they have. All looking absolutely fantastic. The tank is a work of art.

Connie - Shane has no say in "fishie" matters!!!!!
Thank you again for everyones comments!
I am not really comfortable with the reef tour, I have thought about it but I am not sure.....TOM would probably be better!
dkle - I actually have two purple tile fish and I love them! They are jumpers - atleast twice a day they jump and flip around on the center braces and then fall back in the tank. I heard the hardest with these fish is getting them to eat and they eat like pigs so hopefully they continue to do well. I would live to come see your tank..........
Brad - your tank is far from a desert! You have a gorgeous tank!

My compliments. The tank looks wonderful! Please do the Tank of the Month and give the reef tour more thought. I was afraid to do it at first, but it actually wasn't that bad at all. When you get around to selling or fragging, I'll jump in line! ------------- 28g Cube http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23030" rel="nofollow - Beginners Guide to Saltwater Aquariums Brandon in West Jordan |

Wow! Amazing tank. I don't know what else to say. I can't believe all the colors and your coral/fish selection is unreal. One day I want to have a tank like that!

jeff - the clowns don't eat the sps but the acro in the middle on the left is now dead because they have laid 5 different sets of eggs............:(
Mike - Connie and I definately share - it is like getting new stuff without having to pay for it!
