I hate to say this but remember that there is always a tank out there smaller than yours. :bounce1::bounce1::bounce1: Cruel but true.

Spectacular build!!! Very impressive!!!
What are the dimensions of the DT (sorry if I missed them)??
As for your previous tank (~250) I believe, was it all under tank plumbing or did you have it plumbed to a 'fish room' as this one is? I will be setting up a 240 in the coming months but have yet to determine a place in my home where all of the plumbing could be hidden behind a wall or another room... hoping a reef of this size can be maintained with all 'under tank' plumbing.
Keep up the great work!!! Following along :wavehand:

BSchaible - Thanks for checking it out! 120"x48"x30" on the display tank.
The 210 gallon glass tank had all of the filtration under the tank in the stand.
It worked great running all of the equipment off the main Sequence Dart pump and a custom manifold.
Reef on Buddy! :wavehand:

Dude that has to be the biggest birdnest I have ever seen. All that on one rock? Gotta weigh at least 25 lbs.

Yes sir it was all on one large rock! Why can you see me flexing trying to hold up that bad boy?

That was one large colony! Would have been even cooler if it was a purple monster!

B1N4RY - you are right! I ended up letting it go to a local store who single handedly supplied the whole state of Utah with birds nest.
