Dyraxe, been a while since any pictures or updates. Has the slowdown in the economy put a hold on this monster of a build?

No I think we are all just busy these days. I need to set up a time so I can stop by and update everything that has been changed or done by Ray. I will try to get it up on the forum by the weekend.

Really nice work. The aquascaping looks very cool. Cant wait to see it down the road with more fish/corals etc. Impressive.

Thanks for the update.

when is the coral going in?

Looking great! With a project this size, it is going to take TIME to see it really come together - you've come a long way in four months. We look forward to future updates.

very unique scaping

That's really coming together nicely. I still wouldn't want to have to work on it, and imagine even the tank servicing guy feels a little dread as he heads over once a month.

Are those two linkia starfish in there already???

Good luck with that.

The poor sob goes by every week for service. Sometimes twice. :lol:

Cant help but think the fish look to small in that tank.....

I stopped read this thread long ago *like a lot of people, but I am glad I came back, it should be a damm fine set-up in a year or so when its all settled in.

Is that a clown tang in the second picture in the lower right portion of the tank?

 

[stylolvr]

I was very pleased last night to find this thread. I actually saw think tank at one stage during construction, and knew that it could be an awesome setup. Congrats on the great build! I can't wait to see it all settled in.

there are corals in tank , about 40 different types . the prob is the tank is so tall getting a good pic is hard to do. There is going to be a shot of tank from the top so you people can see whats actually in there.

 

[Hongt713]

i bet the tank is really hard to clean the bottom

Glad to see some update pics. Looks great.

I would LOVE a reef with such dramatic dimensions like this, but let alone the challenges of creating flow and lighting it I'd shoot myself due to the maintenance required... It'd be a totally purple coraline viewing panel within six months :lol:



Thanks for sharing the pics Dyraxe!
