Wow. That's nice. Any idea on the tank size? Not much room for any new additions. Almost looks like there are corals mounted on the returns.

They are! Talk about using every aquare inch of space... Looks like he has an A. tut. up there.

Anyone know what the three black "things" are on the top left of the pic, at the top of the tank beside the returns?

That looks more like an efflo. Look at the surface of it. Looks like it has nudges coming out of it. Thats if we are talking about the same piece.

Those black things look like Aquaclear Powerheads.


I like the idea he used to keep the foam under control in his sump. He has 3 sumps too. Hmmm.

i like the copper pipe for filling the surge tank or whatever that is. Either that or the color on this moniter at work is way off!

Great setup!! what size tank is it?

 

[tsadik]

I will say only reefers in US must learn and the is long journey

Is this some kind of practical joke! Did you see the size of that sand bed? What a disaster waiting to happen! I can't believe those corals grow at all!

Just poking a little fun. Somone around here has to stick up for the sand bed. It was just a little interesting seeing a killer stony tank with what looks like about 8" of sand.

That tank is awesome, well stocked, great condition of the animals, and every gadget known to the refers.:smokin:

the controls are just sick!!

just started, i dont think that is a surge tank, no way for the water to surge from that diameter tubing. It's probably for top off and I doubt its copper pipe.
Is it me or is his reef structure kinda odd?

Invinc. you really keep up w/ your reputation: finding extraordinary tanks around the world to show us thanx. that's an awesome tank, and now i get an idea: glue my purple cap to the returns

Looks like brown PVC to me, not copper.

Just awsome!
