Are u ok? Now I'm worried for your health when your over lol

Thanks! I just let them grow into each other. But some do avoid others without intervention.

No other tank in Western Canada even comes close! If anyone wants a great looking tank take notes from Mike! Good job buddy!!!

hunggi74 01-21-2016 04:15 PM

Your tank is not too shabby itself mister.
I can't wait for more pics of your corals Mike!

Yes I'm very interested aswell!! Beautiful tank and the bulb selection be great to know aswell .

Cade 10-20-2016 03:10 AM

Amazing tank! Thank you so much for sharing! :)

Cade 10-20-2016 09:29 PM

Could I bother you for some more pictures of the sump now that its all running please? :)

I might have just got the hint of a go ahead from the wife for our next tank, and your size and shape is almost identical to what I have been thinking about for a few years now.

How do you like the stand? Sill super happy? Why not have a steel one fabricated?

Also how is the system for noise? Is it dead silent? Ours would be in the living room right beside where we sit to watch movies etc..

Thanks again Cade.

hunggi74 10-20-2016 09:39 PM

This tank is no longer up. He sold the system to a friend who was looking to upgrade. I hear he will be setting up a new tank in the near future.
Thank you Mike for the inspiration to all of us.

moosehead 10-20-2016 09:48 PM

To bad was awsome

moosehead 10-20-2016 09:48 PM

His lighting looked good woulda been nice to have known the combo he used

Ryanerickson 10-20-2016 10:28 PM

Come on Hung spill the beans

hunggi74 10-20-2016 10:58 PM

I have no idea what bulb combo he used. ATI 48" 8 bulb dimmable Sunpower. I don't think it would have mattered what his bulb combo was...his stuff was that nice.
The stand is super sturdy and definitely overbuilt. It screams 'expensive' lol. I'll take some shots of the sump when I get a chance.

Oh yes, I was the lucky fellow whom he sold the tank to...
