Anyone without reefing experience who starts a build saying his 1350g tank will be split into 4 sections and named after the reefing 'masters' is a little too full of himself if you ask me. for a guy who didn't want to touch on associated costs he sure posted enough pics of his lambourghinis and bentleys lol.

Don't even get me started on the fact that he built that massive tank only 3 feet wide lol.

Guys, I've seen this tank in person and I've spent time with Peter and Shawn at MACNA...he really does love the hobby. He has money, there is no doubt and he has hired help to work on the tank, but he tries to be as involved as he can in taking care of the tank as well.
If you look at it another way, I love the show Tanked just because it gets my family (who enjoy it too) to be more appreciative of my hobby. The sheer number of U-tube viewings on Peters tank have probably done a lot for getting people excited about the hobby we love so much.
Just my thoughts but seeing that tank makes you forget where you are for as long as you are in front of it.

I certainly don't question his involvement I just don't like the vibe of self-importance I get when I read his thread. Maybe it's my flawed perception but I enjoy Ching Chai's build much more. To me at least, his build completely lacks that feeling.

If you follow the thread you will know that peters sps tank has a flatworm infestation
Sucks, but he will show publicly how he over comes this. So this type of education is also good for the hobby.

I just didn't like the build thread. Lasltight nailed that vibe that the thread gives off....at least to some.

I've seen many big tank threads this is the only one I got that vibe from...I dunno. I've met Peter as well...he is sure nice, but that doesn't change the vibe some get from the thread
