I see how that is going to be sweet, but I would feel so disappointed by the end product on having very limited viewing inside the shallow reef. Especially on the "waterfall" and deeper side of the pond.

If I was putting that much time and effort into the tank I would atleast want some sort of view-able side to it, don't ya figure?

I guess time will tell with the finished product.

My money would be on bringing in saltwater, rather than making it.

It's not the size of the pond, it's the motion in the ocean.

That's awesome.
It's not fair that fish get a bigger home than me.

I hope not, our smallest bed room has more volume than that and it's not very big!
