Coral Tank from Canada (1350gal Display Tank)

[Eric the half-bee]

Peter, you have a beautiful home. I love the wood flooring and underlighting around the tankbase. Your landscaping is serious eyecandy and makes me pine for our home when we lived in MN. The tanks OK too...:lol:

Nope, my background is extremely eclectic but my most recent activity was in the software domain.

Thank you for the generous compliments. I hope it is worthwhile as you have been my mentor and you have set a very very high standard.

I hope that you are in a safe and secure environment as our news channels are very taken with events in your country and you are a very important part of this community.

Peter

Peter. Thank you for your concern.
The situation in Bangkok is quite normal.
Reporters always make it look critical.
We just hope the protestors will disappear in couple days.
They kill the traffic!!!!:uzi:

Lets hope it settles down.....we have some wine to share in the near future .....Thailand, England and two more countries yet to be chosen. I get to choose the first two Grand Masters........The Reef Central membership gets to chose the other two. More on this process later.

Best build by far in my book.

Wow. That lighting is beautiful.

Thank you eric, its the same high intensity LED system used to light up the CN Tower in Toronto. My challenge is a little easier, I don't have to light up the city........just one house.

Peter

Its actually one of three different systems.....more on that later.:artist:

Thank you but it's waaaaay to early for that. That's not false modesty, it's just a fact.

Holy Sh#t!!!!

That is unbelievable! Great Job...

The truth? Vision, planning, discipline, execution and a ton of good luck. This should be there for all of us. Ok, Ok, most of us.

Thanks

Peter

Peter, Your build is my wet dream( pun very much intended. I love the way the space is coming together. Especially the latest picture with the wood floor. It is hard to believe this is a basement space. I am awaiting more with baited breath.

Thanks Eric, every morning when I wake up I think I've stolen someone else's dream........we are so fortunate to live in this time.

Thanks Chris, hang in and be very very patient as there are some really neat things to come. My intention is to incorporate the fish room fully into the display environment. There's a considerable amount of magic to come from this imagineer:reading:!

Peter did you realize that you have best of both worlds. A reef Tank and a indoor saltwater pool. Everything is looking amazing with all that your doing.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks JP, I appreciate your continued support.

Your humility in this process is what I have enjoyed the most, that and the humor, that is classic.

You ahve heard it said enough, an amazing build, the best I can offer is...

*Subscribed*

Look forward to the rest.

Thank you for your suggestion and your generous compliment. I have a challenge with how exactly to handle the surrounding environment. I know this is still a work in progress and its a mess but you can see that I have to be very carefull with the various points of view. I have an unusual desk that I like and my wife hates that I want to position carefully. There's going to be a great deal of trial and error.....yet to come. We have a loooong way to go!!!!!

Peter

Breath taking

 

[dainiusiva]

[FloformAustria]

I've been quietly following Chingchai's build thread for quite some time now and always been amazed at the care and time he has taken through out his build to personally reply to each and every post made in his thread. I applaude you as well for following in his footsteps in this regard for taking the time to do the same thing. It was through Chingchai's post saying that he has been watching a friends build thread that I found yours Peter and for that I thank Chingchai. If it wasn't for that post I may have missed out on being able to read one of the best and biggest build threads for a local reefer I've ever come across. As it has been said many times before...Simply Amazing. From articles written in local newspapers like the Toronto Star, Hamilton Spectator and a handfull of others I was under the belief that the Ripley's Believe it or not Aquarium was going to be built at the base of the CN Tower, I'm glad to see that the new location has been moved to Oakville....lol
Now it's even closer to Hamilton.
Thanks for sharing your top notch setup with the reefing community of the world.:thumbsup:

Incredible build Peter!
Your thread has made me realize there are a lot of reef keepers in our area on this site.
I hope you belong to a local club and that one day you could host a meeting.
Looking forward to seeing some of the fishroom pics.
