Idol Tanks

[kozmo02]

he had an awesome tank, i chatted with him a few times online, really nice guy, i hope he didnt leave the hobby for good, but it has been quite some time since i last saw him online or saw him post.

his website no longer exists either

He was saving components for a new large tank (250g ish) but he sold all that hardware last summer. Bunch of Deltec stuff, lumenarcs etc... I spoke w/some of his DC/VA/MD friends at MACNA and they have not heard from him quite some time.

...And of course Yasuhiro's tank:

I love that style of system. Do you have any links to this or similar tanks?

 

[stlouisguy]

Hard to be convinced to go bare bottom after looking at these tanks. Most have sand, and not all that deep either.

Interesting.

In case anyone is wondering, Yasuhiro's tank is:

150cm(W)x90cm(D)x65cm(H)

which comes out to

58.5"(W)x35.1"(D)x25.4"(H)

about 225 gallons.

Why don't we get some more nominations and then do an official Reef Central "My Favorite Idol" poll.

Mine would have to be Alexander Gers from Germany. Simply, Sweet....

I met him at MACNA last week, great guy too.

Me too. I want to emulate the Japanese tanks when I get a new one (hopefully soon). BTW, here's a link to a previous RC thread on Japanese tanks. Lot's of great pics.

First time I've seen that tank from Germany. Absolutely stunning!

Not many BB's in the group. Interesting.....

 

[ReeferMonkey]

My idol is BB but I don't have the pic here at work and don't want to leech his bandwidth. Will post this evening.

 

[cward]

There a lot of awesome tanks out there, but Steve's is my favorite.

Yes, it is interesting. I think I saw at least 1 starboard tank....but most are shallow sand beds....I'm sure we'll see more BB now that you've mentioned it. I don't think it says anything really...except maybe that sand looks better in a display tank.
