Pictures - 800 gallon reef - 7+ years in operation

..........

Just a short note to convey my apologies to all for not responding to your many questions in a timely manner.

Following my return from vacation, I was required to attend to a series of rather pressing matters that occupied my full time and attention.

However, I will be back shortly with a detailed reply to your various enquiries as I expect soon to be able to free up some time.

Absolutely beautiful tank, hcrk.
I appreciate all the time you took to post the info and pics.

I don;t know if you'll find time to answer my question, but I'm curious- if you could do it again, would you build it in your basement? I know all the guys are drooling over your bar and all - but as a woman, I'd love to see it in a living room with tons of bookcases, big sofas with pillows and blanket throws. What a way to spend a weekend.... reading, and watching your fish. :-D
 
That is almost exactly what I am thinking Kewliz. I am building an addition onto my house. Its a HUGE - 750 sq ft - entryway (instead of an attached garage that is supposed to be there). However instead of bookcases, the tank is going to be surrounded by plants: orange trees, banana trees, norfolk pines and smaller flowering plants including my numerous orchids. The tanks is going to be a large L shaped tank and a big comfy couch wil be in front of the tank to just sit and watch it all evening long.

The room is going to have tile floor, vaulted ceilings 11ft high walls and 38ft x 8 ft high south and west facing windows. I am hoping that will help supplement the lighting. I was supposed to be building the tank already this winter, but my cunstruction crew was unable to come last fall due to the amount of rain we had here all last summer. Got them booked for May 2005, to get started on the addition. Man am I getting excited.

Sorry for hijacking your thread hcrk. Looking forward to hearing all you have to say about your Incredible tank. I hope I can get mine to even approach the beauty of yours.
 
Like everyone else, I am AWESTRUCK. Congratulations. I sincerely hope you will continue to post pictures and information about your tanks. Thank-you.
 
Incredible tank! Just looking at your basement and bar were amazing enough but that tank is incredible. It is so big that it reminds me of a public aquarium. I couldn't even dream of a tank that nice!!! :)
