I had the pleasure of seeing this system in person recently and although the pictures are stunning in their own right, it was truly breathtaking. Everywhere you look in the tank there's something cool to see. It was actually too much to take in, as you miss a lot scanning through even the 2nd and 3rd time.
Don't even get me started on the stand, it truly is a piece of art work. So clean and buttoned up. And the height was just perfect. I couldn't believe how nearly silent the system was, even when the stand doors were removed.
I could go on and on about every component of the build/reef, but what stood out to me was how nonchalant Brad was about his system and seemed very humble about it. Like as if everything kinda just fell into place and an amazing reef tank was born. I can see how much planning, hard work, and skills went into it.
Great job Brad and thanks for letting me come check it out.
Tony - thanks so much for taking the time to come see the tank and write these kind words. Of all the nice things people have said about the tank, this might be the nicest. Thanks again and see you at an upcoming auction.
Can you share your light schedule and led cycle pleas?
SUPAkg -

If you have the ATI Powermodule, pm me your email address and I'll send you my ATI file.
Love that boo berry. There's a lot going on in that coral. It'll be fun to see that one grow out.
Reefmutt - it's been a slow grower thus far but I do think it has some potential.
Yes, keep them coming! You have awesome photos and an amazing system to take pictures of!
Quick question- how did you arrive at your photoperiod?
Mhucasey - trial and error, reading other tank threads, asking reefers and then setting the schedule around my schedule. I'm home and awake from about 5pm to 10pm so I have the lighting set as I like to see the tank during these hours. I don't care so much for the look when all lights are on so I run this while I'm at work.
Everytime you post new pictures I vacillate between desires, awe, and jealousy. I also run out of ways to praise your photographs and express my admiration without sounding like I'm trying to marry you or stalk you....
As always, beautiful pictures....
Maxxll- never get tired of kind words. Thanks for following and continuing to comment.
Truly beautiful. Very inspiring as I journey closer to having my own reef tank
Luiscarr - thanks and best of luck as you set one up. I'm always happy to provide my opinion. Don't hesitate to send me a PM if you want someone to bounce ideas off of.
Hey Brad,
I love cruising through the pics of your thread. It's very inspiring for a rookie reefer.

Drew - good to hear from you here on *********. Hope all is going well with your new tank.
Agreed. I've been showing this tank off to some friends in my local reef club recently. What's gets me about this tank is how the whole package is put together. Too often do you see these ultra modern, clean engineered builds, with barren tanks full of white rocks and nothing in them, or fantastic displays with forgettable, yet functional structures and plumbing surrounding them. This tank has the whole package. A stand, light rail, and sump that matches the classiness and execution of the inside of the display. My current favorite tank on RC for sure. Just love the coral growth execution, fish health, scape, color, and especially the character of the wood and stand design

Bpb - wow, thanks for the very nice words here. This is my 3rd reef and with each build I've learned more things that I'd like to change. I'm sure I'd need 4 or 5 more builds to really nail it. Thanks again!
I love your collage of pictures. Your corals and your photography definitely complement each other. I will continue to follow Project 365.
rockworm - thanks for following and taking the time to comment.
I use to run a Giesemann Infiniti T5/MH fixture on my last tank. I loved that light. Since this build was going in my living room(middle of the house) I did not want to have to deal with heat from the MH. For this reason, I went with the ATI Powermodule. I'm able to run the T5's when I'm at work and then come home to the tank running LEDs set to how I want to view the tank. Plenty of shimmer with the LEDs.
