You Have To See This!

Well to be fair those two tanks are so far different, it's not really fair to compare. The Oregon being a one-sided inwall vs. Saxby's 'island' tank. It's far harder to aquascape every side for viewing just one. Saxby's does have one thing, some of the rocks breach the top of the water. Big fan of that .

Nice, awesome and tremendous....none of them do that tank justice. Amazing fish. Hard to even notice the corals with fish like that. Oh, to be loaded. The electric bill alone for that tank has to be around $300-$400 a month.

Yep they are very different. But Oregon's is number one in my book...it has just the right amount of fish, amazing coral colors and placement and a perfect depth. Don't get me wrong Saxby's is nice though.

That oregon reef is pretty cool thanks for posting!

In retrospect and watching the video a little bit more without multitasking... Overcrowded. I really have to go with Inlimbo on this one.

What was it, 400 fish for Saxby? that's quite a lot of fish poo, and not all of them seemed happy. They also had to remove a certain angel for eating too much coral I think I read in the comments.

If a lot of the larger fish were taken out and it was just schools of anthias and a tang here or there I think it'd be a lot more comfortable and have more of a natural feel to it. At least, thats how i'd do it if I had that tank setup.

Hopefully the next house I live in will have plans to be built around a large tank like that with a built in wet room etc but will also be environmentally friendly. Not sure how I'm going to pull that one off yet but one step at a time. Step 1: graduate college ;p
