well after looking at all the awsome looking tanks they are all my favorite. Did anyone notice that almost all of them have DSB or sand bottoms. There sure seems to be a pattern ,sand bottom tanks = Great looking tanks

Yes, but some of the tanks shown here are BB.

Let's not derail this thread by getting into a blood thursty debait on BB vs. SB/DSB...TIA

I was not trying to do that. But only 2 tanks do not have sand thats all i was trying to say.

I feel it necessary to point out that many of this systems are quite mature - several years in some cases. The BB phenomenon is really just getting started (with some exceptions, of course) so I think as time goes on you'll see more and more mature BB SPS tanks.

Not that there's anything wrong with sand

I just canâ€™t get over how beautiful the tanks are. I am so anxious to get started in the New Year with my own creation. I have been studding everyday here at reef central to figure out what type of system I will be going with. This tread just blue me away wow. Thanks

I have to say this tread is great for viewing. I also notice that out of all the great tanks, The debate of BB vs sandbed or DSB is answered here on this tread, Most everyone of the tanks have somekind of SB and are doing great as are the BB tanks, All very nice tanks.

A big 10/4 to that.

Thanks to this thread and the guys here on the SPS section my tank has become even better than ever, I can't wait till my rock is done cooking.

Many tanks in this thread are fantastic ones. Some that I used to follow closely were Flame*Angel's ( http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...totm/index.php ), MtnDewMan's 90g reef, and SteveWeast's masterpiece.

Over time, these hobbyists have moved on to other message boards or hardly post, so we have a newer generation of tanks to enjoy. I don't believe I saw GregT's 400g in this thread, and it is definitely worthy.
