Please let it go already.

That is about a 12' by 4' by 27"H tank (at least in my little world that's the shape it would take).

Nice.

It would be amazing. Heck, I wonder if it's even meant for SW. (Arrowana or rays for example I bet would love such a tank). It's a size I can only dream of, however, the cost of the salt alone for water changes make me dizzy. If I had the means, it also means I'd have the means (I wonder how many more times I can say "means" in a single sentence) to go somewhere nice and see things where they are instead.

I still think it's a totally legit thing for a business though, someone who could write off the costs and so on as an expense... hey why not. (I just wish MY company would do it, so that I wouldn't have to go broke trying to maintain my own tanks. ).

A lot of reefers do not feel the need to shamelessly self promote thier tank on online forums. Because they do not participate on a forum does not mean they don't fully understand thier system and how a reef works. Also, if they pay someone to look after the tank does not mean they don't fully understand thier system and how a reef works. Fact is, most people that have 800 gallon tanks in Calgary, don't have the time to look after them themselves, that's how they could afford them in the first place.

The vast majority of aquarists choose only to impress themselves and do not feel the need to show off on the internet.

I agree. Most customers we get in the store are like..."whats a canreef". And sadly most of those people have nothing but LFS advice to go on(which isnt always in the best interest of the tank or livestock). Arent we lucky to have access to the wealth of information both here and on other online sources.

i would not say that we are lucky to have this "wealth of information" for someone that is new to this, the incorrect information on most aquarium forums is more prevalent that it is in the worst of LFS. A good fish shopkeep can give you more useful information than the best web forum, because it is A) filtered and B) they have to answer for the incorrect info.

I disagree, I have learned more from this website than from any fish store I have been to... I guess if you have a 'good' fish store nearby that you can go to with questions great (but for me starting out that would have been a lot of trips to the store). I have rarely been misinformed on this or any other reefing forum and if there is some misinformation being given usually the more experienced people chime in right away and correct this. All canreefers together I'm sure have way more experience than any "good shopkeep" and they dont want to sell you anything
