I NEED to revisit, they're just all so very awesome that I have trouble remembering which one is which after a while!!

If I recall correctly, this is the one where the guy replaces his sand bed every 6 months so that it's all nice and white ALL the time? :lol: (Oh dear. A little patch of cyano over hier! RrrrRRRrrRRReplace ze zand at vunce!! {insert Dutch accent here - it's OK - I'm Dutch - I can make fun of my own accent can't I !!?})

Still - what a breathtaking tank. I'm torn. If I could afford the upkeep of a tank like that, odds are pretty good I could afford just to live near a beach somewhere near a REAL reef, and that would be a hard choice to make!!!

... Hmmm, actually, it wouldn't. Never mind. Nevertheless, what a spectacular tank. :)

The two craziest things about this tank that always struck me are:

1. "After two structural piles were hammered 19 meters into the ground to help support the weight of the 8000 kg tank". WTF??? 19 meters???? I thought I overbuilt my stand.

2. The shop that the baby is in sell fireplaces. WTF??? Fireplaces???? If I walked into this shop thinking to buy a fireplace, I'd walk out wanting a reef tank instead.

Oh come on... thats only ~400 gallons a week. :razz:

yeah thats true, the owner of the reef works there and wanted to be with his tank all the time.

In his TOTM profile, he says that he replaces it every few weeks.... :der:

just thinking about that water change makes me want to.. :faint:

If I remember correctly, the tank is stocked in zones....5' of Aussie corals, 5' of indo pacific etc....how could you get any work done with a tank like that to oggle??
