850G WOW !
This is Steve Weasts newest creation ... a 850G behemoth ( upgrade from a 500G ) as posted on RC ... this tank is 1 month old and is absolutely breathtaking in it's beauty and design. Surely to be " Tank Of the Month " and also " Tank Of the Year " ... at 90" Deep it gives a whole new perspective on what depth can do for a reef tank ... I uploaded a pic of it here and also a link to the thread at RC ... Enjoy !

Wow!! I watched that tank construction thread he had on there for awhile. Talk about planning. Good thing he is a builder and knows what he is doing for load limits and stuff on floors!
His tank was TOTM on RC for March 2002. Here is the link: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-03/totm/ Although now that it is a new tank I'm sure he will be TOTM again! Hmm, and he lives in Oregon. Can we say ROAD TRIP??!!?? Christy

I wonder how he adds corals or moves stuff. At 90" deep, does he get on the swim suit or what? Awesome tank

I'm not sure I really follow and you know maybe I just looked at the pictures too quickly but it doesn't look any taller to me than his old tank? I thought he meant that the breadth (i.e front to back) dimension was 90" but the left-to-right and the up-and-down dimensions were the same as before.
If he's only using 400's and the depth really is 90" I'm surprised that the light can penetrate that deep. He's only using 6 bulbs if I remember correctly? It IS a fabulous setup. Definitely not your average setup!!! Have to go plan my 851 gallon tank now...

The width ( side to side ) and height ( top to bottom ) are indeed the same ... but front to back is now 90 inches ... so 400W bulbs ( X 12 ) are fine he just needs alot more of them LOL
