A Reef in the Sky

[jacek_1970]

Hi. How long this big acroporas was transported outside water? Are they alive after that? It is very important for me, because I have big one for sale.

 

[dallasg]

been a great journey that i have followed, as everyone has said this is the world most epic SPS tank, look forward to seeing whats next..

 

[mark54321]

Sad to see this tank go, it was my inspiration for a long time. I followed your build from the beginning, I wish you good luck in whatever your next endeavor is.

Wow very nice mock up and picture representation. Good luck on the build

This tank showed us when exceptional planning and attention detail come together excellence can be achieved . It has been a pleasure watching A reef in the sky mature .

New pictures :fun2:

He took the tank down. This thread is done

 

[Reefflapper]

Well, just like everyone else I am sad to see it go. A Reef in the Sky will be talked about for a very long time. Good luck to you with your next journey, and I cannot wait to see your next build whether in 1 year or 10 years from now.

Any updates with this guy and futures plans?

Does he have any tank at all right now?

 

[txdragonslayer]

Wow!

Wow!

The time has come...

I would like to thank everybody (past and present) for following along over the last 5 years. I have really enjoyed sharing my journey with all of you and have met some great people from all around the world. Some great friendships have been made.

Out of interest, the living area is eerily quiet now with no pumps or chiller running. Something which will take time to get used to again.

I would like to also to thank my lovely wife who has been part of 'A Reef in the Sky' from the planning stages to it's final days. All the corals have gone to a total of (as far as I know) 23 different tanks around Hong Kong/ Macau and China and our beloved fish have gone to a tank(s) that is also featured in this SPS forum. So keep an eye out for them

Some final pictures

The sheer size of some of the colonies was startling


I ran out of containers/buckets towards the end


Some corals in the lift coming back down to earth


A short trolley ride was their last request :lmao:


Off to their new destinations


Sorry no soft drink can, only a :beer:
The shear size of this coral was incredible


A quick photo with one of my favourite corals. It's nearly larger than me


I will be happy to answer any questions you might have but this is the final official update.

In true aviation style... it is not goodbye, but see you soon!!

I am just starting back up after a long "forced break" in the hobby. Would you attribute this growth to the zeovit?

 

[bobssecrtsn]

such an awesome thread, no matter how many times you read it, it still amaze's me how far you've gotten from the beginning to the end!

I am so impressed by your attention to detail in all aspects of your build. I would love to get more info and an update on how your small tubing in the back corner is doing. I know you put it in there to reduce the dead spots so im curious as to if it worked? Do you still use it? I am setting my 125g up now and only have 1 MP40 and 1 other powerhead.
