Glad to see you're still around. You still hold one of my most favorite TOTMs!

Amazing tank and video! You've made quite a few changes, or did you set up a new system?

 

[bradleyj]

It's a new system. Well, not new, it's over a year old now. My old tank that was TOTM back in Feb,2012 was 225g acrylic and this new tank has the same footprint, but is 3/4 inch glass and a foot taller, making it 335 gallons. Much more swimming room for the fish, and I will never go back to acrylic.

That is such an awesome tank. Do you have a fish list?

 

[jnc914]

I will never go back to acrylic.

That is a bold statement

Have been a fan of your tanks and especially your livestock for years. Another great looking tank. Congrats and continued luck!

So for my understanding, the new dimensions of this tank is 6'Lx2'Wx3'H? Beautiful tank with all the SPS especially the wrasses.

 

[bradleyj]

Close. The dimensions are 72" x 30" x 36" Tall

Good collection of fish.
I am wondering how come you did not go 36" wide?

Because this new tank worked with my old stand, . The only thing I changed out was my tank. 36" wide wouldn't work on my existing stand.

 

[bullitr]

Thanks for the reply.

I modify or completely change my Stand few times already.

What corals and inverts have you found to be emperor-safe?

[bradleyj]

I know what aren't safe. Zooanthids, Acans, scolymia, any really meaty coral.

Just discovering your threads back to 2005. Should be a great read. Classic quote you made above That is me with the hammer still building... After building my first acrylic tank, umpteen reactors and widget after widget, frag tanks, etc.... Eight years later for me and just about to start a new build, I am still waiting to "sit back and watch", LOL.... But, the journey is a lot of fun too.... CONGRATS on awesome reef.....

Brad- Did Glass Cages build your stand? I have a neighbor that has one that looks identical to yours, he picked it up from Glass Cages last year. It seems pretty sturdy.

I really have no idea who built the stand. I bought the stand and my old tank from Scott Fellman 8 years ago. So it was used when I bought it.
