That's insane I LOVE IT:

That would be great on stairs or where one room is elevated; with stairs separating. A clam lagoon where you could overlook and and then a sps wall. Thanks

thats awesome!

if i did it i would have it built with a much longer drop horizontally, and have it in the center of some wide stairs...


in my grand foyer..

That is right totally sick!!!!! Man alive the creativity of some folks. Once again, a tank which makes me think I'm totally unworthy to even be in the same hobby as some of these folks. :lol:

Well now all I've got to do is knock down a part of my place to get the same effect. That really is a nice tank. It seems like just when I think I've figured out my next tank design something new shows up on here.

What a beautiful tank, I would just be happy to have that tank.
Talk about a show tank.

wow, nice tank, you gotta have pretty long arms to be placing stuff at the bottom of that shelf.

That is just great. Such a nice representation of two different reef areas. Any idea how the tank was constructed? Is that a seam of silicone between the two sections?

A couple people on RC have been throwing this idea around. I initially considered it quite heavily with a lot of input from Jnarowe. Eventually I turfed the idea because of accessibility. I definitely do admit though this tank looks amazing!

Dream big man, dream big ;)


I love the idea but do you think it would be possible to avoid the seam in the glass? (just before the drop off) That would make me worry.

Looks like acrylic tank, seen seams like that before, was probably done that way to cut down on cost. Would like to know the dimensions of that, sure is different.

Get it eurobraced, and it should be fine..

Nothing a set of 70" tongs wouldn't fix.. :mrgreen:

Pretty sweet tank tho... makes me wish I could afford to build my 590G custom design...
