Introducing my home 17k gallon reef

[Hedgedrew]

This is amazing! I have so many questions.

Question 1: Have you ever had to call a vet in for one of your fish?
Question 2: Over the years what has been your most expensive loss?
Question 3: Which fish is your favorite?
Question 4: If you have kids, do they take interest or is this dads hobby only?
Question 5: What was your first tank?

Going to answer these tomorrow. Lol

Nothing says large tank more than "qt room"

Beautiful fish and the live rock is equally as nice in that tank. How did you source all that live rock, pre-ban ?

Do you have any Interruptus angels? Those are my favorites and I would love to see pics of them if you have any. What is your favorite fish? Any wrasses?

If this is rude just ignore it but, what does doing something like this do to your property value? Higher or lower? I am planning to build a 6x10 fish room in my basement and I am concerned about what that will do to my property value.

Just include a value for demolishing it. Other than that. Nada

Used to keep them. My deep water collections probably need a Japanese tank. Wrought irons too. Nice

Is there any unintentional breeding that goes on in that tank? I have always wondered if in large aquariums like that if fish and corals go through a natural life cycle.

Yes. Spawning behavior all time

Thanks so much for sharing this awe inspiring tank! Awe is the only word that even comes close.

Welcome! This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this and your willingness to answer so many questions. It is obvious it is not about the money, but the passion. Those pictures makes me feel like I'm back at the Atlantis in the Bahamas.

Thanks for sharing. I'm feeling so much better about my thrifty, little 600g! I'll point my wife to this thread next time expenses come up in our conversation.
