Mermaid new Endless tank

[2x210g]

i passed by Mermaid Aquarium yesterday and bought some corals out of their new endless tank set up. The set up is awesome and the coral prices were mindblowing. Its the best display tank in the bay area.

The set up speaks for itself. Max at Mermaid Aquarium did a great job.

I think u mean Edgeless.

I was wondering what the hell an endless tank is... and more importantly how do I build one! :D But yeah that Edgeless tank is quite nice, one of the locals had one at one time (Mona? Sorry my memory is failing as to whom) they did say that it is a bit of a PITA to keep clean though.

ReefCherie has an edgless or zero edge clam tank.

It is awesome. Max had it set up at the WMC a couple of months ago. People (myself included) kept poking the edge to see where the water was streaming down the panes of glass

Heh, they're all endless tanks. You keep tweaking them, and dumping money in them. It never ends :D

Ahh thanks Eileen it was Cherie. Yeah Mermaid had the same tank at the BA-CFM it was impressive as it was even without all the nifty mini-colonies and clams in it!

It was a nice tank i was helping my friend in the booth right next to them but there must have been an huge amount of evaporation

Zero Edge, Endless, Edgeless , all the same thing, but Zero Edge and Endless are the two most commonly used ;)

i had cajun deep fried calamari at the berkeley marina yesterday... mmm =)

I'll go checkout mermaid this weekend! can't wait to see it.

[Ti]

Cannery row OwnZ me on calamari. :)

[GreshamH]

There's a Thai place in Berkeley that makes very good calamari. That's coming from a professional calamari eater of 30 years. I was eating the stuff before I could even say the name :lol:

Back to the thread though...

Damn wish I saw that 29.95 clam deal at the BACFM I might have bought one :)

[2x210g]

i think they still have that same deal at the store. i also pass by today and the endless display tank was stock with full of new stuff. if you want a deal, ask for Max he's the man with the crazy prices. :eek2:

nice pics

[Kinetic]

so cool!!!

[aquaclear500]

That's awesome. I am on my way to check it out.

[Ti]

Carpool? :)

[otterpop510]

wow, that looks amazing.. how does it work in terms of water not going over top with flow/currents?

[neyugn0w01]

Dang. I have only been gone for less then 1 week and that tank is up and looks incredible. Have to stop by Mermaid and check out the tank when I come back from Mexico.
Nos vemos en una semana.

[Carrera07]

the water does go over the top... it runs down the outside edge of the glass into the gutter.

The water does go over the top, that's what an ZeroEdge tank is about ;) . The water is pushed up thru the bottom (1-way valve inline), and it overflows on all four sides. There's a gutter running around the whole tank that drops down into the sump. If done right, it just looks like a cube of water.

[otterpop510]

aahh.. i get it! i definitely will stop by to check out in person next time i'm around there..

[aquaclear500]

That tank rocks. Did you guys see all the new Acans he just got? Awesome giant pieces! Some of you guys might want to take advantage of some of those big colonies.

[piberoptikz]

Great!

[dannieboiz]

that is sick!, sorta like the way they do some of the swimming pools.

how do you clean the glass? Shut down the flow?

[GreshamH]

Same way as a normal one, but shutting it down will help keep the splashing down. A magnetic algea scrubber can do both sides at once :D

[Patio]

I am going to take a look at it today.

[aquaclear500]

I just checked it out and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!! What a tank? I think I want a little one now of the same tank.

[gfk]

where is mermaid, they have such nice looking corals, way nicer then all about fish
