I haven't posted pictures for quite some time, I'm hopeful these links work.

The top picture is the right side and the lower picture is the left side of the tank.

Impressive...I am sure someone will ask, so I might as well.,.what is the background on your system? Any crashes? Again...very impressive!

Thats it, you stopped at 20k?



Jk lol, great looking system

Sorry, but these images are just too small to capture such an epic system. I'm sure a high resolution movie is in order, maybe an in-tank view with a GoPro3 system.

This system is in your home?
Could you post some full tank shots including the actual wall it is in?
Also do you do daily/weekly dives for maintenance?

Im speechless, this is unreal

Beautiful! We'd all love some details about the tank.

Joe, is this the tank at the LI Aquarium exhibition? I've been meaning to come out to see it forever. Looks amazing. You and I actually met years ago when you were at the NYA. Long before this hobby was as popular as it now is. In fact it was you who first put the idea in my head that we could be more successful with magnifica anemones by treating then with antibiotics (I think I see some mongo mags in your pictures?). Anyhow, good to see you back here again!

The tank is at www.longislandaquarium.com
It's a public aquarium that I cofounded.

Yes, the mags have been reproducing nicely in there.

If I ever make it out to the East Coast, this will be one of my first stops.

This is an impressive set up. Honestly I have visited many public aquariums around the world and in this country. IMO, The only reef tank that rivals this is the ones at Waikiki aquarium. Problem with many of the public aquarium's reef display is they have a lot of dead/bleached out spa not cleaned up, and/or having parts of the display being overtaken by aptasia.
