Ragga. Its more emotional and more intense and more ups and downs than that movie leads on or even than people think. One day your the champ and before you know it your a chump. Have to work on all vacations and never leave my blackberry aside. Earnings time once a quarter I'm working till 10 pm every night and have to wake up for London at 2 am. Its an introvert and perfectionitic job that doesn't allow you out. You have seen my outlets. Reef tanks and shigh end stere gear and lots of dogs.

thanks for the reply. I can only imaging the emotional roller coaster that you ride. lots of stress I'm sure.
I know nothing is ever as sensational as hollywood paints it.

I wish you an eventless build that goes super smooth. Its very impressive as you'll already well aware and I think we all enjoy living vicariously through you.

Curious if you've had any contact with Bill Wann? he's got a 20k tank in his house in Wisconsin I believe and may be of some help to you even if its only conversation.

 

[hedgedrew]

We have not but I think it maybe a good idea to contact him. In fact that's on my list to do. If you find a contact email or tele let me know. I can learn from his mistakes or if he has any new ideas.

I spoke to Bill about getting a skimmer from him, great guy. Defiantly worth a call, very down to earth and neat guy.

 

[hedgedrew]

Ok Thx. Going to call him.

Totally a dream tank

Are you kidding me! Your subwoofers are bigger then my tank!!

My friend owns a professional car audio and house audio shop here and he said to me once. "The guys who grew up wanting a loud car always give up on it and get a house, then those guys want a loud house. That's why I'm here"

 

[jarrett shark]

Nice build!!! Would love to get a tank tour some day of this aquarium you are building.. You must have Joe nervous that you are going Sps...lol
Any help needed you got my vote!!!
Good luck with build

 

[hedgedrew]

Jarett. I worry about that also. I'm going to try to keep the sensitive acro in the 2200. If I do it in big tank it will be yellow turbinara or stylophora or pocillapora. Real hardy no Stn!!

 

[hedgedrew]

Tidus I listen loud!! But many audio guys don't. To me I want to recreate concert live music sound in small theater. Orintimate jazz club.

 

[007Bond]

I think turbinara corals are cool gives that reef feel.

 

[anbosu]

I'm not sure how feasible it is but it would be awesome to drop some big brain corals in there

 

[ca1ore]

High end audio is a lost art. Audiophiles just endangered species with mp3 and iphones. My crank also.

VTL and Wilson - nice Rig! VTL and Genesis for me!

 

[ca1ore]

My fish is bigger than your fish!

Heck my speakers are bigger than that ..... amp much smaller though Love tubes .....

 

[hedgedrew]

Nice ca1. !!! These are Mt second pair of Wilson's. I still have the first set of Alexanders that updated. And can't part with them. They in theater with my old levinson 33 radiator amps. These new siegfreid amps are best sounding amps I've heard. Tubes and power!! I got to be friendly with Luke and his wife

 

[hedgedrew]

Anbosu. I would love to. My fear are the angels triggers etc munching on them. I have been able to keep a round ball blue brain in my tank now but the back of it looks eaten. we will see. Theres always fake ones. Lol.
