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.

Isn't it ironic that all the reef somebody are banned from RC except Randy. Melev was an editor for their reefkeeping online magazine too. With the money RC generate ....

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

What a disaster waiting to happen. I think we can all agree this is a nightmare we all don't want to face.

Good luck to him!

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
