I love how you covered that reflector in. That's really close to what I wanted to do when I was still going with 3 lumenarcs myself. The more I see of these shallow but wide tanks the more I want one. Leonardo on RC is my current idol. I wouldn't say I have a crush but it's unhealthy. Check his thread for some ideas on yours!

Absolutely,

Marlin's tank has inspired me to draw up a 60" x 60" x 24" starfire...now where do I put a 375gal centerpiece tank without my gf knowing?? :biggrin:

But you know what, I think this is sort of the future of reefkeeping. I have a 30" tall tank right now and while I like the look of the openness, I was shocked to learn how little PAR my corals are getting at the depth of the top of the rockwork (never mind the bottom of the rockwork). To compensate means more wattage and thus higher bills. I think shallow is the way to go. :)

Looking forward to seeing this one fill in. :cool:

Great Tank

I agree you are definitely on to something with shallow tanks for corals.

Just look at all the new coral tanks at OA they are 12 to 14 inches high.

I was thinking of the coral holding tanks at a lot of LFS when I saw this tank Tom.
Marlin, I love it man.
Very nice work....definitely the nicest empty tank on canreef right now....lol

plus, your montis look unbelievable in your 25.
I'm blown away you built it yourself, maybe a little hard to tell from the pics, but the quality of craftsmanship looks very high...

If I do that I will have to let go of my other two tanks. The plan is to take both my 25's down and put them in this tank, and then try to get my 60 starphire cube running in the spot my 25's are. Not sure how it will all work out, but time will tell. I think I might have to part with some tanks though I have too many. :redface:

Let me know...lol
I need a cube now...lol
