One might think the reef won't look good starting with rockwork such as that. Then you look back at how Atlantis Marine World started (about 20,000 gallons) and they also used big blocks. Limestone I think and now it's in my opinion the nicest captive reef ever. Once these tanks grow in it's OVER.

I'm not sure how many people maintain that tank but I think Bill will be able to pull it off.

I'm not down with the actual outer decor but I doubt I'd pay much attention if I was a guest!

I guess I better start saving now so I can afford a tank that size before I'm 80.

I now don't feel so crazy for putting such a big tank in my basement.

If I was him I would but sharks in there or something rather than having a reef.

quote from Bill "As for how many gallons , the main tank is 17,953 gallons . When I filled the system from dry it took 21,463 gallons total to fill everything and get it running"
Holy crap! I thought Chingichai from reefcentral had a sweet tank. It's going to be hard to top this one.

Man-o-man quite a tank, can you imagine going diving every time you put in a frag?
