I went to see this tank over the weekend and it is a beautiful tank! colors are unreal! I love the frag tank also!

I don't think there is a tank just a bunch of half filled milk jugs and some airstones!

Prove me wrong

Nah he uses 5 gallon buckets. What else do you think happens when he's done with the salt?

dnov99 · Mar 6, 2012

lol It is my old salt buckets that I use. I will try and snap some pics in the next few hours, but they wont be as good as Matt's.

Sweeeeet! Cannot wait!

Here you go guys. On a sad note this tank will be torn down for the second time, as the seams are failing again due to the fact that I used a terrible tank builder. This is the second time in 2 years I am doing this and I will not be using them again for obvious reasons. UGHHHHHHHH!!!

WOW!! very nice collection of corals and fish...Im sorry to hear about the tank builder experience. Everything looks great!

The wait for the FTS of your display was worth it! I was wondering if it was filled with a gi-normous egg-crate frag rack or something, LOL!

Seriously, you have a beautiful DT... sorry to hear about the problems you are having with it. That frag tank is pretty awesome too! Thanks for satisfying my curiosity and sharing the pictures.

Thank you. Yes its really a bummer, but what are you going to do. i have a pretty good game plan and it will all be done in one day, so it shouldnt be too bad. I hope...

Wow, your frag tank looks amazing Darren! Nice upgrade!

adw · Mar 6, 2012

The fts did not disapoint. You have inspired me to dip my toe in the chalice pool.

SD Actuary · Mar 6, 2012

Beautiful tangs! How long have you had the Black and Achilles? Can see that widowmaker colony from a mile away, thats how chalices should be! Great looking stuff

kschweer · Mar 6, 2012

Tank looks awesome. Very unique. What is failing with the tank? Seams? Good luck with the change over.

Thanks Scott. Have had the black tang and powder blue for 6 years, the achilles only for 3 months. Actually the widowmaker is in the frag tank out of view. You are probably looking at the berry garcia or FNF psychedelic.

Thank you. Yes the seams which are visible in the pics. The tank was not "baked" in the oven long enough. They are probably good for another few years, but I am having a new tank built now and will do the entire switch out in a few weeks when its done.
