Guess its true what they say "The truth hurts" he was just being honest not hurtful.

Anyone can see for themselves that its a sub par tank set up and IMO not worth that price tag, but again to each their own.

Edit: I will also add that initially I didn't realize this was an ad in the buy/sell section and originally thought it was an advertising link to a company/brand that called themselves "living colour" tanks.

Well living color is a terribly expensive custom aquarium builders (those fish king guys!). I won't complain about the price tag since I am pretty sure that tang cost a fortune (wouldn't be surprised if it was $18k). In the case of this tank, its not about the quality but more like the "brand name".

Good luck with the sell but you will get some severe bashing over here since I highly doubt whether there will be any such hobbyist to buy such tank. This company generally makes "show tank" and not hobby grade (you know what I mean :P).

P.S. please don't bash the OP. Bash living colors for making such tank and charging blood!

it was a show tank at some very expensive airport store realestate,.. that is why it is so narrow. Also, the fake corals are delibrately white for branding purpose... I assume whatever fishes they had, they would really pop in white background. As for reasons why bioballs, UV, etc. you can always ask the folks at http://www.livingcolor.com and share your gripes.

Im not griping, I was making an observation about the equipment.... would you use bioballs???



who am I degrading?.....I was pointing out the flaws in the system.....If the person that is actually selling the tank were actually here and trying to sell the tank, I wouldnt have said boo....besides, I am being helpful.....Im hopefully helping some new person to NOT make a $3500 mistake

******* and loser!:cry:.....you hurt my feelings:lol:

Degrading
 

Come on fishytime....
"Does the 2 x 4 come with it?"
Must admit that was a good one
But stop there

Liking the totally bleached out look! It's like winter in a glass box.

LMAO

I wish I could go change my vote as to why I "Surf the Canreef" cause now, I would check Forum Drama (over opinions).

*munching on popcorn*:lol:

Well i'm pretty confident that Dougs post says it all. I think we're more steering towards helping a potential newby buyer purchasing something that is very out dated, and just a potential distaster waiting to happen. A lot of people would go "oh my god, they're on TV, lets buy that system!"

When really... you're paying for a name, crappy fake corals, and a system that IMO is outdated and flawed.

Boy, I look at this unit and see a number of possibilities...
You certainly can replace the fake coral with live rock for a few hun, go fowlr right away
Add a diy led light if you want corals...
As far as bioballs are concerned, cost of removing them = $0
Though look at Mike Palettas recent build (youtube led experiment) and youll see he still uses bioballs!
And you have an elegant, modern piece of furniture thats miles ahead of most tanks out there for looks!
Not sure about the electronics, whats in the unit for electrical control ato, temp, etc?
