Very interesting thread. I always like seeing different equipment used overseas. The viewing room is really spacious and makes you feel welcome to sit back and enjoy the reef.

Markus: the tank looks very nice, but I think I'm almost more impressed by your house

 

[MarkusII]

Hello Jova,

thanks....

Well you have not seen pics of the garden.... - even more impressive.
Although it is a beautifull house and perfectly run with a lot of offers for the aged people I hope that it takes a long time till I might have to live there. I prefer to stay at my own smaller house.
But space for the size of the tank does not matter - it even could be bigger (except from the costs for a larger tank)

WOW!!!!

WOW!!!!

that is AWESOME!!!

the incentive and act of donating all the equipment,time and work is AWESOME!! (even though they want you to keep it under your ownership... but to even offer it is incredible...) YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

that is one awesome tank... do you do anything to keep the water chemistry in check?? i only read that you have a skimmer... ( actually i only skimmed most of it..)

 

[MarkusII]

Hello Tha.... (wow - thats awesome too - what a nick )

thanks

apart from the skimmer I do regular water changes....

thanks for sending me the link to this awesome sight.
Its wonderful to see the dedication and time you have given to enrich the lives of senior citizens.

Hello capn,

thanks for the compliment....
As you have seen in your thread (http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1401603&perpage=25&pagenumber=10) I am not only trying to please senior citizens with the reef keeping hobby but also to try to get young people interested in it....
...to eventually raise the numbers of reefers in tomorrow.

regards

Markus
