He has two, each of them as expensive as the whole tank build. His next door neighbour has a 300 gallon reef tank from Big Al's and a bigger car collection, nice neighbourhood

I park my Impala out front to keep it real

LOL yeah. His skimmer probably costs as much as my car. If I had the money, my setup Would be just as ridiculous, maybe even more. I have my eyes on a cylinder that goes all the way up to the second floor.....

I am still young, one day hehe

Mr. Wilson,

Where did you purchase the water storage tanks? Looking for a few myself.

Thanks,
Dave

WOW is right!! I have always enjoyed looking through your setups on the "other Canadian board". Incredible work!

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, this build is one of my favorites on RC. The detail, not only to design and construction, but also to documenting has been outstanding!

A couple of questions - What problems have you run into now that the system is up and running? How do you control pest algae and fish disease in the main tank? What problems have you noticed with the fish community? What's the maintainance like on this system (you mentioned you're there 3 days a week - any others helping out)?

They came with the place. Shipping cost is a problem with large storage tanks, so you are limited to local sources. I find farm supply businesses to be the most reasonable. Try TSC if they have it out your way.

That skimmer was triple the value of my car
