Hey SW addicts!

I was looking for an online store and stumbled across this video. Take a few minutes and watch it. Make sure you are on a highspeed connection.


800g Tank

 

[cooltop]

Awsome!!

 

[roka64]

That is one sweet tank.

 

[Ziggy953]

Maybe one day I'll have one like it....

I think all of us locals should pool together and put something like this together. I'll make the largest sacrifice and allow it to be housed at my place.

That Neilan is such a great guy offering to do that!

 

[mr86mister]

haha, you guys make me laugh. That video is amazing!

 

[mike47517]

Looks like a friggin pond! Sweet.

That is fine with me as long as you foot most of the bill for the tank and I get to have frags of every coral we put in it.

Great Video.

I think you're missing the concept.
I provide the space
you guys provide the rest
I'll take care of maintenance

I was curious, I didn't see much in the way of power heads for flow. Do you think he has them hidden behind the rock formations, or does the water level go well above the canopy and he has them up there?

Those have to be some of the happiest tangs in the hobby, what was that, 12 feet long!?

 

[intimatecple]

ummm.....WOW!

 

[intimatecple]

I offered my wife a chance to get rid of my regulation size pool table for that....she said no

That tank is just like the one I have in my living room...... except mine is smaller...... well, much smaller, well much much smaller and not as much stuff in mine, well A LOT less stuff in mine.

That tank is as big as my house

I think it would have been cheaper to build a house under the ocean with big look out windows, kind of like that james bond movie .

Impressive I am sure like 20k is invested at least

At the very beginning of the video you can see in the upper left hand corner of the image a return from either a closed loop or from the sump. I would say they have both hidden returns and closed loop returns throughout the tank. Who ever filmed the video did a great job of not getting all the "equipment" in it.

Hmmm, I would be willing to bet it was a lot more then that.

 

[ccCapt]

That looks great.
Reminds me of my favorite build thread. 500G (84X48X30)- NOW REAL !

And in case you don't feel like browsing thru a couple hundred pages of the build, here's some recent pics of the tank.

ps...some of that will probably be available at the swap in Jan.

Awesome. Loved the gobies.

How often do you see such florid polyp extension on the SPS corals in your own tanks?
