Tank of the Month - February '06

[patrickb]

This tank is SICK! So nice!

 

[atruedollface]

Does anyone have any idea how much this setup would cost?

Holy $%#@&$!$, this is the most incredible ocean scene beyond a real ocean reef, that I have ever seen. I looked in awe at all of the photos and must agree that this should be the tank of the month every month, every year.. or that it is so beyond any other it just gets a permanent feature on this site! WOW

sweet!!!..but bi-weekly removal/replacement of sandbed=not for me.

WOW!

This tank can't be described with mere words! It is by far the most beautiful one I have seen

I cannot agree more with the comments on this setup. Nothing short of stunning !!! I'm typically very impressed with all the tank-of-the-month features, but this is hand-down the most beautiful !!! I'd love to see this in person.

Pieter, congrats on your acheviement, your tank is unbelievably beautiful.

Incredible craftsmanship, vision, imagination, dedication, engineering, and all the other appropriate superlatives!

Can this be nominated for totyf? (tank of the year, forever)

I am completely blown away by this tank. I've never seen anything even come close to it in home aquariums. The attention to detail is unreal. An amazing collection of corals in an incredibly created environment.

Bravo!! :beer:

What is the brand of the 1000W 14K bulbs?

Can you please email me the contact information for the company that build the glass tank - max@aquaticarts.com

Thanks!

 

[Tanu]

The 14 K bulbs are made by Aqua Connect.

The company which built the tank is Aqua Compleet . They have built more tanks like these, many of these are located in offices and stores.

 

[Reefjunkee]

nicest tank i`ve seen to date!

 

[downlimit]

I wish I could have something that huge

BigSkyBart - if you have a complaint about how the board is operated, it belongs here, not in this thread.

As for the removed post, it wasn't deleted, it was removed from view. When a members first post is devoted to a tirade, such as that, it often will garner a closer look.

Let's move on with the subject at hand.

Cheers

Hello,
Can you please describe these 1000w bulbs? I am unable to find them online. Are they single or double ended bulbs? If single ended, can they be burned in a vertical position? If you can provide a link to them, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerley,
Joe

Joe,

Here is the Aqua Connect bulbs website link. It does not list a 1000W 14KK bulb. The home page is at aquaconnect.com

Thanks again,
Joe

 

[Tagareef]

Yeah...according to my Euro calculator that's $355 and change. Hope those bulbs can go 12 months!!
