After 15 years I'm doing it..Dream reef

[Freed]

Make sure you protect your overflows and your PH intakes. Mine got sucked in a few times till it disappeared one day.

 

[Bax]

Very cool!

I see your albino YT is a little more yellow these days, ... nice!

I like how you framed the species tanks in the framed doors below. Also the openness of your reef. Very nice rockscape.
Impressing!!

[X-FACTOR]

Thanks guys!

FREED: No PH's so far so good with the overflows..(crosses fingers)

BAX: Ya she has got a lot more yellow over the last year, I swear it comes and goes..LOL

KNUCKLE: The frames are actually held on with 2 inch wide Velcro, when I want to access the tanks I just pull off the face plate and the entire tank slides out on custom made drawers, they slide in and out with 1 finger..super easy access...I'll get some pics.

I would definitely like to see some pix of your sliders. Every little trick I read of, or see, is always relegated to my memory banks for future use, with credit to you, properly noted, of course.
Nice thing about it, is that one couldn`t even tell, just by looking.

 

[Mr. Brooks]

Simply beautiful. A marvel of engineering, planning, and hard work. Kudos.

[drpo21]

wow, i wonder what this tank looks like today. oh and that tang is a chevron, looks like there is a reflection of a coke or something that makes it seem like a cool looking fish.

 

[stunreefer]

HOLY COW!

What an awesome build X!

I used to advise, install and maintain ponds and waterfalls... it was a lot of fun and I still miss many of the adventures I had! I don't miss spring clean-up after a winter though - I'm sure you guys have to go through that in Utah too.

Anyways, fantastic build, and we'd all love some updated pics if you get a chance

How in the world can you tell that from that picture? Just the body and fin shape??
