Where'd you get them big water tanks. Looking for something like those tall and slim'sh. Agree very nice set up shallow tanks definently have some appeal to them.
I got them from Tank Depot. They are the potable water tanks. 130 gallons a piece.

What's your bulb combo? It looks really crisp. This is a dream tank for sure.
These are in order:
ATI Aquablue
Blue Plus
KZ Fiji Purple
Blue Plus
Blue Plus
GE 6500K Daylight

KZ Fiji Purple

GE 6500K Daylight

Wow very nice.Can't wait to see this stocked.
Thanks, me too!

No new FTS really. It would look exactly the same except the button polyp colony I put in. It's one of my oldest and most hardy things.

I've been meaning to take some new pics from the frag tanks...cause they are full. I've got a couple new sick chalice colonies.

I did finally get the carbon reactor running today. I didn't feel good last weekend (my allergies have been insane) so I didn't make ay progress last weekend. This week was spent spraying my lawn with chemicals and cutting the grass.

I did order a RKE w/NET, Emperor Aquatics Smart UV, 5lbs of carbon, Tropic Marin Bio Actif Sea Salt bucket (wanted to try this for awhile), another refractometer (so I can have one for upstairs and one for basement) and a Diamond Tech Speedster XL Diamond Band Saw today so we'll have some new goodies next week.

Nice collection!
I have a PRS but it's only an SE Custom. Nothing too fancy but I love playing it, sounds great. Hopefully one day I'll own one. Santana edition of course. :)
I also have a PRS inspired guitar that I built. It's my baby, it still needs a bit of work but I love it.
Here's a couple pictures, I hope you don't mind.
Building it.

Finished.

Solid mahogany back and neck, rosewood fingerboard, book matched quilt maple top. I hope to source a pair of Santana II's or III's pups.

Thanks, I was just sad the pictures were not better. I'll probably never have another chance to have the pups walk around in the tank.. My fault for not turning on the flash for the gf while she was taking pictures.

That is a dream setup! Very nice and the frag tanks are the icing on the cake!
thanks, I owe some updated pictures. We'll see what I can get tomorrow.

Amazing!!! Can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. I can only dream of having a monster tank like that. Great stuff!

I want to tile the whole stand actually. I think it would look sweet.


I love the look of this as well. I'm sure you've seen SunnyX's tank (Sonny). He tiled his stand as well and it really gives it a finished look. Looks amazing....

Bryan, I love the tank. Why did you go with T-5 instead of MH? I am in the process of setting up a 48" x 96" x 16" tank. I am using 2 400W MH on each end with the large Lumenbright pendants. I am going to raise them as high above the tank as possible. I will use my par meter to tell me where I am going to get the best bang for my bucks. I have the overfow in the middle of the tank so I plan on using T-5's on the sides.
