Tanked phone booth on ebay already.

Well so have I and I would use them if I had to.... But ATM using them is funny to me.
 
[sarcasm] Wow, it's for sale? That must mean the owners are in jail. [/sarcasm]

Seriously, people. Be cynical if you want, but that couple's personal life is no one else's business.

And a wet/dry sump with bioballs is the standard for keeping a FO system. No foul there, either.
 
The filtration is fine for that tank... That whole system has a single flaw and not a single one of you got it right...;)

Doesn't seem weird to you that the number one tank manufacturer has state of the art 80's filtration? Hehe


It's like roll up windows in a Mercedes.
 
It's not a reef... Im surprised it has as much as it does... Nothing wrong with a kiss system IMHO.... Heck they had unlimited funds and they chose that equipment "if that says any thing" things that make ya go hmmmmm..:tongue:

Well then the only other flaw I see is it would be hilarious to see someone clean it.
 
Everything looks legit to me for a 200 gallon fish only tank. I know a lot of people do not like the show for their own reasons but I do. Its meant for entertainment, its not meant as a "how to" type of show. People have said that this show misinforms those that want to start a new tank. Hopefully the newbies do a little more research than watching a weekly TV show. Lets be realistic, if everyone relied on TV shows for education and knowledge to become an expert then I would be a mechanic, surgeon, chopper fabricator, crab fisherman, survival expert, gold miner and the list goes on and on...

I would say that the sale of the tank has nothing to do with how it was built or installed. I realize the the episode just aired a couple weeks ago but the tank could have been installed a year ago. Its not like these guys make the show and it airs the following week...

+1 million
I don't know how many of these threads we need to go through were some people just wanna bash the show... can't be that bad eh if they're still talking about it..

For me, I like the show and I think it's very entertaining.. I think that was their intention.. I'm sure they have directors and producers that want to make the show for ANYONE to watch and NOT meant for just the reef enthusiast...
 
Troylee--

The main flaw that I see with this tank is the lack of surface area that limits gas exchange at the waters surface, thus limiting stocking capacity
 
BTW, the wholesaler told an acquaintance of mine via phone (I was standing there during the phone call) that the phone booth tank suffered a complete wipeout.

Sounds about right to me... Not a issue that couldn't be fixed just need to inject air some where in the system... Not a huge issue but the only one I can see... The bioballs might have enough o2 exchange who knows.... I know they do help a ton with gas exchange being a trickle filter... So maybe it's not flawed who knows..;)
 
The filter looked really good for a Fish Only tank IMO.

This show has promoted a handful of new customers who purchased large tank systems from us since this show has aired.

They did install a bubbler in the phone handset while building the tank.
