Did they make it? Yeah... It's right there in the quoted text.
They did a great job.

I have a 350 gallon from them to Tom is a good builder do you have a closed loop on yours

Ian Eisenberg · May 22, 2016

No. Just the overflow and Gyres.

It's funny, I have been in this hobby long enough to remember bleaching our dead coral and rocks to keep the tank a pristine white.
Now I can't wait for the rocks to get covered with algae, crustaceans and other life so it looks more natural.

How many gyres are you running? And how many drains do you have and what size are they

I really like your aqua scape! Funny the tank was getting filled as you moved it in....!

I had two in running at about 30%. I have added another to provide cross flow and turbulence.

Yes, it's a type of porcelain crab. Often called an anemone crab.

Just beautifull .. for many many years i have had a Cichlid tank. Some of my Cichlids are surprisingly big colourfull happy active fish. I love watching them moving sand around and doing there thing. I got to say tho as much as it scares me some what with the risk involved. I do look at these marine set ups and photos and just think wow. Its a really stunning tank you have. I could watch those fish all day.

What on earth was that thing in the sand ?> ,, and do you think it had been actually consuming your fish ? .. freaking me out here. I saw this couple of days ago and have had to come to ask lol.

Ian Eisenberg · Jun 27, 2016

In my old tank? Some sort of eunicid worm. I'm not entirely sure. I thought it was the pistols.

A quick video update.
It's been tough to post recently as my kids all prepare to go off to college. Of course now I will have more time for the tank and updates!
