Pictures - 800 gallon reef - 7+ years in operation

Also, I intend to keep posting as long as there is interest in my aquariums.

Then you will be posting for a long time friend

I am sure this tank has been nominated for TOTM several times.

I look forward to it being selected as such.

Very nice tank indeed. You have now inspired many more reefers who want to go out to plan and build bigger and nicer reef tanks. Great accomplishment!!!

BTW, didn't see you mention anything about Phosphate remover agent. Do you use any? How do you keep your phosphate down?

Ooo...wait...yup, I need a clean pair of knickers. :worried: Great job on the tank.

thank you for sharing this with us. i've seen a lot of tank pics in all my years, but this one of yours takes the cake

i'm curious to know if you already have everything on your 'wishlist', or if you have things you still want to add.

do you ever impulse shop or are all your purchases planned in advance?

thanks again for the beautiful pics, and for answering the important questions. i've learned a lot from this thread.

Well this will be my first offical post! Woo woo.
I would like to start by thanking the anonymous person for sharing us his aquarium.
I am now starting to wonder why I am passing up on a 125 gallon tank offered to me.
I never thought about how more stable things would be with a larger tank. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
I would also like to point out to you, that if you ever get drespressed just come here and realize that for 2-3 years people have been admiring your peice of art.
You have acomplished a wonderfull thing and I thank you for sharing it with us.

At how many pounds per square feet does this become a problem?
