Sadly I won't be attending this year. Had a bit of a heart attack and not allowed to travel.
Drink some for me!
 
Incredible!

Incredible!

Outstanding job! It took me the entire week to read all 117 pages but it is well worth it! What a great 2+ year story to read over the course of a week.

Although I don't have a tank currently (had to break it down last year) I'm priming the wife the next tank is going to be big, 1000 gal. The good news, I showed her your videos/ pics she said "not until the kitchen is done". That's a great sign, she didn't say NO!!

I'm excited to follow along in real time and expect to start my own build thread in a year.
 
Love the tank, but always wondered how you guys with the deep tanks get in there and move things around? Seems like a serious chore to get to the sand bed.

Thanks Lubeck! I hope that you get there! Negotiating with the wife on something like this is a huge undertaking. Good luck!
 
Dan! I was wondering if you can post some of the videos in this thread that aren't on youtube onto youtube. I find it much easier to go to your youtube profile than digging through the various pages to find the videos that aren't posted. :)
 
I just got lost in this thread over the past 3 hours. I have to say thank you for taking the time to chronicle this and share it with the rest of us!
 
All I can say is WOW, I just read this build from start to finish. I won't get those hours back but it was well worth it. Congrats on the great ecosystem you seem to have setup. Truly amazing.
 
Dan- two questions.

Are you still loving your reef Genesis system?
Are you still running your waste ro water through your skimmer?
 
Dan has been swamped lately. His tank is doing well and his corals are doing well. I haven't seen photos but Dan and I chat every couple of weeks,

I keep telling him he needs to update, but you know how sometimes 'real' life sucks up all your time and there is no time left for your virtual life.

He'll be back :)

I hate how "real life" always finds a way to ruin my virtual life!!!!!
 
We should all find a way to incorporate our passion into our real life.....and make sure it pays decently.......if only that easy
:lol:
