When I win the lotto, can I pay you to come and design me the 5000 gallon tank inside the bar at a new house?

This is a given but my favorite part of this thread is the pics. You have access to a level of stress relief with that tank that would equal heaven for me. The peace and tranquility in my 72 gallon has me asleep within minutes.

My second favorite part of this thread is the fact that so many new members were compelled to make their very first post a compliment to your ecosystem. I lost track of how many "Welcomes" I came across while reading. The children who see your tank in person truely have seen something precious and I'm sure that will have a lasting effect.

My question for you is this: What was your inspiration?

Kudos to you for sharing your slice of the ocean with us and for being an inspiration to people of all ages.

Well just wanted to say great tank. I read some of it but to read all of 28 pages would take me at least 6hours if not more. Im a slow reader. So anyways great tank.

Would just like to say that, should hcrk venture back here he should be proud that after 2+ this thread is still fairly active with new people, including myself discovering his tank...a true credit to you.
