I hate RC.. There are too many threads like that that make me feel inadequate. Hehe. Not that there aren't similar threads like that here but I have yet to see anyone on canreef suspend their tank with an anti-gravity lifter!! :hail:

That is so my fantasy fish room, right up there with some of the German tanks that look like a nuclear power plant control room.
One of the downsides to an inwall tank I find myself sometimes spending the day working in the fishroom at the back of the tank and forgetting to enjoy the front.:smile:

I've been following this thread for awhile now. Pretty damn amazing! The money being spent is unreal. I think I read somewhere that he is a fruit exporter. Must be pretty good money in papayas and bananas. :lol:

Another good thread is: (How not to build a 750/1500 gallon build thread). You can find it under large reef tanks forum. It's pretty interesting; and has been awarded thread of the month.

Much more than 80k spent there although I suspect he might pay a lot less for construction materials there and labor.

Been a longtime fan of his first tank. When I saw his renders a few months ago I didn't think he could pull it off to this extent. Incredible and famous the reef world over now.
