Biggest pagoda cup ever?

You be the judge. This is a 150 gallon that is four foot long. Oh and in case you don't know what a pagoda cup is, it's the big blue thing on the left. It started out 15 years ago as an actual cup shape that was the size of my palm. The polyps all came out shortly after this picture. It was something to see for sure.

Truly! It's really impressive. I couldn't get over that. The whole tank is 15 years old and it's SO CLEAN! I couldn't see anything that looked dirty or poorly maintained at all. Not even coraline algae covering the back wall. He says they dont do anything to the back wall- no scraping or anything. Weird.

They need a bigger tank! A friend of yours? What do they run, zeovit? That's a really clean looking tank! Congrats on 15 years of success, and the monster pagoda!

yeah he's a friend of mine.
All of their equipment is 15 years old as well. They just have a sump, skimmer and filter pad over where they bio ball used to be. they took the balls out. There's a phosban reactor that's new, but that's it. The lights are pretty new, but he couldn't remember what they were called and I couldn't tell. Some, off brand LEDS.
