Bad news...Melev's 280 is no more
I'm late discovering this (mostly because he's been banned from RC for some time now) but his legendary 280 sprung a leak and he's torn it down. I'm still reading but I think he's planning a newer and bigger tank.

Gee, it seems like you aren't a reef somebody unless you've been banned from RC.
 It's a real shame his aquarium popped a seam. Seems like all reef tanks are destined for a disaster of one sort or another eventually.

Wow, very unfortunate event, glad all his livestock is still safe, that toadstool leather is huge! From what I gather apparently he was banned for "copy right issues" which led to drama and more drama on RC. I do look forward to his next tank, he has helped so many people with his tank builds and this next one seems to be bigger and grander than the one before.

okay with regard to his tank, I was thinking this is actually old news. I got the news first on Facebook a week ago - you can connect to all the Reef somebody on FB now :P

His thoughts about leveling leg is good but not good enough. If anyone can actually contact him this is what I would pass on to him .
He needs to have 6 - 8 legs for that size of tank and have a metal pad welded to larger size bolts as I have done on my 8' 165 gal (225 gal total) 10 foot pads in total. Just my thoughts
