Large reef tank from years ago?

[Alaska]

Hello, it's been a while.

First post here in quite some time. My old profile from back then is no longer around. I'm getting back to reefkeeping and introducing my son to the hobby. Things have progressed markedly since 2006; the tanks are larger. Flying Fish Express is no longer around, nor is Marine Depot. Not to mention Jeff's Exotic Fish is long gone as well. As old as I am, I realize things change. Still undecided if today's reefing world equates to progress.

My question: Does anyone remember the LARGE reef tank that involved the altering of the house and required use of a large crane in placing the display tank? The system referenced was the talk of the internet. I have looked, but can't locate the postings of this large reef tank. Any ideas?

I am aware of Polo Reef but not convinced this is the tank I am referencing. It very likely could be, as it has been a long while.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks for any help.

I remember that tank and, for the life of me, I cannot remember what it was called. I know it's not Polo Reef.

Yes, a lot of great vendors have come and gone. Technology has changed a lot but, many of us still hold to doing things the old ways. My only real changes from the 90-00s is LED lighting and Apex/Hydros controllers. Other than that, I pretty much maintain my tanks like I did back then.

This just popped into my head: Zilla Reef by Kevin Carpenter. But, I don't think this is the one we're both thinking of. ETA Unfortunately, all the pictures were lost due to a policy change by Photobucket years ago.

First off, thanks to Kevin Carpenter for his most generous hospitality.

I think most everyone who was there had the same "speechless" feeling as I did when they first saw the tank - incredible.

Pictures to follow....

You're not talking about Nineball's (Peter) tank? There was definitely a crane involved.
