Is this the best reef tank in the world?

I understand this guy is a legend in the hobby, and now I see why. I've seen many videos of "featured" reef tanks, but this is amazing!

Does anyone know what kind of substrate this is and where to get it? It looks more coarse than what I see available retail.

You are probably right about that. The stuff in Saxby's tank looks like industrial sized crushed coral. Maybe its just the magnification of the picture. Thanks

Got the video to work on my iPad.

I saw this tank (or at least I think it's this one) many years ago when it was mostly softies and LPS. Amazing. He's also well know for saying that you should see somebody's reef tank before taking their advice :lol:. This is exhibit A for anybody thinking or saying you can't grow SPS with LED.

Does he live in the UK?

Didn't he say there was 400(!) fish in there? So awesome. Does he service it himself?

This is another awesome one (that I guess popped a seam - so sad!) This gentleman had a whole crew service it for him.

Yes, Maidenhead is in England. Not that far outside London if memory serves. I'm originally from England, and spent a lot of time there in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Not so much anymore though.

Being that reef is life for this guy I imagine he does the up keep himself. Might get a hand for friends. If that was my tank I'd want to know every little thing.
