WoW. This is absolutely amazing.

If you ever plan to sell and ship, let me know. I'll sell my entire setup for this guy.

I have never seen a prop tank so cleverly disguised as a display aquarium. I know plenty of people, myself included, who would drool over that tank because it looks so great.

I love the school of Bangaii cardinals you have in there. Especially "no tail"

 

[Ricardo Pinto]

Nice one Ricardo!

Hope to see that tank again the next time I go to Lisbon

Perhaps one day i will do something like that in my garage. Yours is amazing.

Regards,

Ricardo Pinto

Thanks Ricardo Pinto, you're always welcome to visit us and see all the tanks.

Great craftsmanship = greet reefkeeper (usually). Everything is awesome. I like the Bangaiis - I have 17 - they are great to watch

 

[RRodrigues]

Thank you panic, I want to see some pics of your bangaiis!

Some new frags:

Turbinaria reniformis frags made with a Dremel

Gree Caulastrea

Photosynthetic Gorgonia,

Diadema that I bravely catch from a friend's reef, ouch!!! (painfull sting)

- Thank you for watching us!!!

omg this is such a cool tank! i'm impressed! one day I want to setup my own prop tank too

 

[CamBarr]

nicee keep up the good work

 

[Lpabsolute]

Beautiful Looking Tank. Keep those pictures coming. Have you unsuccessful in trying to keep certain corals? Just wondering where you get most of your corals?

 

[RRodrigues]

Today I've finished the structure that's going to support the second prop tank right above this one. The dimensions of this tank will be: 82 x 27 x 8.

Tomorrow I'll post pics.

Lpabsolute, Thank you. I've got also a 55gal and 190gal reef tanks, they are my main source for frags.

Regards

can you please inculde a price list i want to copy it down to the last detail but with plexiglass

 

[HermitSolo]

WOW, I'm new relatively new to Reef aquariums, but your tank is the best looking out of all the setups I looked at. Looks great!! Think I'm going to have to start practicing and make some tanks so some day I can make a tank that even aproaches yours.

 

[RRodrigues]

Hi,

firewire, please don't ask me about a price list, I don't remember all the prices. If you want I can help you planning your prop system.

HermitSolo, thanks for the kind words about my prop tank. Welcome to RC

 

[Mr.Furious]

I really like this tank. I am thinking about doing a 6'x3'x15 inches high display tank and this completed my decision. I just wish I could build my own tank like you did :thumbsup:

 

[RRodrigues]

Thank you for your kind words Mr. Furious. At first I was also thinking going 15" as heigth but after talking to some people about propagation tanks I decide to go only 12"because you really don't need much heigth in a prop tank. My next tank is going to be 8" tall.

Good luck with your prop tank.

Ricardo,

I really like what you've done. My ideal display tank is a little deeper and shallower than most spec tank sizes; it looks like you hit the proportional sweet spot. Your cabinetry is simple and clean. Slap some stain and varnish on the wood and I'd be happy to have a display tank that looked that nice.

Great job!
Nathan

Very Nice Ricardo!

You made an excellent work in the assembly of the system, and I wait that you continue with this will for the propagation...
I wait with some curiosity the new features of new tank (you do not forget them photos )

PS - you have ones frags interesting, mainly for my collection of zoanthus
