Honestly, I was cruising naesco's threads. I was curious to see his tank. I saw this thread and thought it was funny.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Id have to agree with Wayne on this one.....while there may still be plenty of swimming space the thought of a tank put together for the sole purpose of capitalizing on the world cup while using live fish (all of which stress really easily) is kinda disturbing.....*wonders if astro-turf is reef safe?...... and if the tangs nibble at it*

I agree with Doug, it's not exactly an ideal set up for fish to thrive in and I feel bad for the fish having a shrimp ball in front of them to pick at but it looks like they can't really eat it. Must be frustrating to have food right in front of you that you want to eat but can't because it's contained in a mesh screen. Have to say it seems rather cruel

Seriously........cmon astro turf falls apart under the best conditions, let alone in a tank full of saltwater....my tangs got put in a tank with their needs in mind and I do my best to provide them with with everything I can.....this tank is a circus side show put together for no other reason than to sell something.....perhaps you should check out a LFS here in Calgary....you would probably like the 14g bio-cube they have with the regal and yellow tangs in it....

Hey, I would be happy to post a photo.
I live downtown Vancouver and if there is a 'photo guy or girl' who can take a picture I would be happy to meet up.
The tank is composed of florescent corals lit by LED lighting.
PM me if there is anyone willing to do this. I would appreciate it.
I was away diving in a remote area of Norther Sumatra, Indonesia so missed this post.
Why did the Mod interject?
