Was this all done in the village somewhere or outside of City?

I’m wonder how far from the ocean are you.

I love seeing the background of the entire project Andrew! It give small glimpse of the scale of this enormous project. Six years in making, bravo!
Any other older pictures to share?
Also how is that new 2k reef project coming along?


BTW nice choice of skimmers, Team MRC are the best! Because of them I have my reef tank.

I thought the title of this thread was a typo but this pic gives true scale to the mind blowing size this tank!! The first pic in the thread showing the tank from the front looks like it was photoshopped because it's so surreal!! I can't quite wrap my head around a tank this size and had I only looked at this pic I would've thought it was in a public aquarium! I think they need a new category for a tank this size because it's beyond monster! Maybe Godzilla tanks? Haha. This is tuly incredible x100!

Thank you. Mrc. Very happy so far. Still need some new engines to run them at spec. Early next week. 5hp to 7.5hp. Will get me closer to 200 gallons per minute through them. Have more old pics i will share.

My wife has been scrutinizing the electric bill for the past several months. Couldn’t even imagine the electric bill you have!

Probably you say somewhere in this thread .... sorry if I lack the attention span to find it LOL .... what are you doing for flow/surge in such a large tank?

What type of coral are you going to put in.

Hey there. So flow in there is insane from all pumps. And we have ability to use big rotating surge valves not being used yet. If we feel we need more we will visit hydrowizzard commercial.

 

[Hedgedrew66]

What type of coral are you going to put in.

Ones that wont get eaten. We thinking of stag acros. Yellow turbinara. Tons of monti caps. Some gorgonians and leathers. Pavona. Like that.
