I wonder how many gallons/day it evaporates:confused: |
I wanna see some more pics of the plumbing and everything!

Thats a great last picture, looks very natural. I'd love to see more plumbing pictures. How he's dealing with flow, lighting, filtration etc. would be great to see.
|
Wow, thats incredible...
I'd hate to have to pay for stocking that thing!! |

OH MY .....
Looks like a commercial aquarium |
There is more info and pictures sices his beginning in this place : [url]http://www.reefcorner.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35816[/url]
Regards |
That is fantastic!
It is like Energy's reef only twice the size and outdoors like victor's reef in Portugal. Very cool! |
That looks like something you'd see at a state aquarium. That is pretty awesome. If I could ever afford something like that I would totally build it.
|
if that was my tank...i'd go swimmin just to feed the fish, and have a face to face view of the corals, and not behind glass!!!
|
Gorgeous tank, your friend should be very proud!
|
wow. that is just incredible.
Do you know how warm the water gets during the day? With it being outside i'd think the temp would be wildly up and down. |
amazing
|
I have no word to say, just wow
|
wow...wow wow wow...nuff said
|
Another rich reef fanatic :D
|
I wonder what size clean up crew you require for a system of this size.I can't imagine the time and money needed to maintain this tank.I love the natural look to it.I would think that building it out of re bar and concrete wouldn't cost as much as one would think.What did it cost to build this tank if you don't mind me asking.
