Yes. Im friendly with bill wann. And he builds reactors and skimmers for me. I agree with you. Its the best except my puppies. !!!

I figured you would! His set ups are amazing too! I forgot his name! I live in Wisconsin so thought it was cool to see he was in Wisconsin too! All your fish look so healthy. How old is your oldest fish? Thanks for talking!

@Hedgedrew , that is one of the most incredibly ambitious, over the top, private Reef aquarium that I have seen. Well done Sir.

Thank you for sharing your Dream tank with us! Looking forward to its progress

One of the R2R giveaways should be a dive in your tank. Also, I need you to put a live webcam in that monster so I can watch on my tv.

I have more questions...

1. Do you Have a drainage system built into the basement should a blowout occur, is there a plan in place if that should occur?
2. Do you dive and have you collected any of the fish yourself?

Bill Wann Style. Lol!!! Amazing! Go big or go home they say. If I had this I’d never leave home!!!

Hedgedrew,

Do you have a current and/or planned fish stocking list you could post?

Thanks

Lol. I am looking for help to maintain this monster. But not hiring in hedgefund

If you are near Houston, TX I would gladly help! I would love to see an amazing build like this grow and mature. Great job on the tank and love the Achilles Tangs!

Well I am sure you will have them many more years with that awesome habitat! We have a 12 year old Sohal, Koran and porcupine puffer. We upgraded our 180gal to 300 gal 8’ because the Sohal was getting head/lateral line in too small tank. Our friends thought we were crazy spending 7000$ on a tank for a 200$ fish and the tank blocks my living room window! But we hope to have the large fish for many more years! It’s very cool to see your amazing tank and we will look forward to following the growth of your tank and additional of the corals. The rare angels are so cool! And all the pyramid butterflys!
