Holly s**t that tank is sweet. It is super deep like ruth said how to acces the bottom? I need to put my hands in my tank every day.

that is an awesome tank. what is the depth of the tank. although it took a year to get IMO it was well worth it. excellent job.

Getting to the bottom of the tank has been a real challange. A few times I wanted to put on my SCUBA gear. I bought tongs from J&L and I was still having problems. I found even longer ones from Big Al's when they were still in Calgary. It is not easy setting in Coral or LR as I have to use the tongs and it can take several attempts before I get it exactly where I want it. I don't know if anyone else has a better tool or system?

WOW! Gives me some ideas for our curved stair case .... I think it may be a "bit" out of my price range though!!!! Absolutely stunning! :biggrin:

Totally amazing!!!:biggrin:
It must be nice to have someone so small that could just swim in the tank to help daddy out.:lol:
But what are you going to do when she grows up?

do you golf? do you have a ball retriever with a little bucket on the end? :biggrin: - there has to be a tool not intended for reefkeeping that would work.

Or else, a volunteer? I don't recommend child labour, and certainly not your own daughter, but maybe somebody about Albert's size with a face mask on, that you could hang from the ankles for a short dip? :wink:

Wow, that is a gorgeous(sp?) tank, very cool with the curved glass.
What are you using for lighting with that kind of depth? 1000w? 1500w?

WOW very nice.

How is maintenance on that puppy?

Simply outstanding! I love it!

At present I am using a 10 000K 400W MH and 2x65W compacts. The tank is 48" deep. I don't have a lot of corals yet, but my single Acropora sp. (which is down low) seems to be doing O.K. although I haven't seen any growth since I got it in June. I was thinking of getting a second 400W MH. Would anyone recomment something different like a 1000W? Should I be seeing some growth in the Acropora by now?
Thanks

P.S. I don't golf AJ 77, but I just won a Taylor r7 425 driver as a door prize. They say it is the cadalac of drivers? Can always use it to hold up my tomato plants!
