Only one word comes to mind when I look at your tank and the setting it is set up in.

COOL!!

Well done and well deserved!!

 

[cashman95]

Wow nice tank!!!!!! I really like the room too!!!!!

 

[MeuserReef]

Dude.... this has got to be the nicest "reef-room" shot I have ever seen!

Congrats on a well-deserved TOTM!

 

[phenom5]

Congrats on the TOTM. One of my favorite tanks on RC for quite some time, glad to see you finally got the TOTM nod. :thumbsup:

 

[maydodo]

Congratulation, well deserved. The best tank I have ever seen. I wish I have one. Good job.

 

[JeremyWW]

Amazing tank, very well thought out and well deserved.

 

[reefing102]

Awesome looking reef, I like the look of the stand. A well deserved TOTM.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Amazing set-up. It's very cool to see someone with such an original design. One of my favorite TOTM in a long while. Congrats!

 

[spsfreak]

Very nice. Love the mixed tank look, and as already stated the room itself is very original. Well deserved. :thumbsup:

 

[g8gxp]

That is by far the best fish room i have ever seen!

Just some quick questions. Where are you located, and how does that factor in with the temperature of the outside air that you draw in for ventilation?

 

[Hop]

Great tank Paul:thumbsup:

And I have to agree that the room is just incredible! Another well deserved TOTM!

 

[gasman059]

Thanks everyone. I have to thank Hop for all the help with this TOTM and for doing such a fantastic job. I live in Bridgewater Massachussetts. In the summer, it can go to the high 90s and right now it's 14F. I have not noticed any effect with the air drawn in and temp outside. The air from outside has quite a few feet of tubing to pass through before it gets to the skimmers. By then the temp is probably moderated to room temp. The orp goes higher when the air is dryer this time of year though. I don't use a dryer on the ozonizer, which would account for that.

Gotta say, that is the coolest tank viewing room I've ever seen.

 

[luisgo]

Congratulations on TOTM!. This is an amazing tank and a dream fish room. I love the skylight behind the tank.

 

[UrbanSage]

Going forward this will be the target tank I some day hope to rival. I can find little peace in having only 30 years to make that come true.
I don't think a TOTM has ever left me as impressed as yours.
The whole room strikes me as an oasis.

Congratulations and incredibly well deserved.

 

[wastememphis]

Congratulations!!! I have been waiting to see someone have a tank in a solarium! Beautiful set up!

 

[melev]

I've been waiting a long time for this one to be TOTM, and I'm really happy that we got to feature it Paul.
