Amazing tank and build!

I am curious how you feel about Envision? I am thinking about getting them to build me a 600G tank so am looking for someone with first hand experience with them.

The pros and cons of acrylic tanks are more than well discussed. I'm VERY happy with the quality of my Envision tank. It is overbuilt, there is no bowing whatsoever and he even built in things I didn't think to ask for (removable overflow strainers). Tank is so strong that I routinely sit on top of it in order to do maintenance. Absolute best in class.

I just wanted to post a thank you! My son is new to the hobby and I have sort of followed along. We have spent the last 3 nights going through every single page and photo of this post. I have loved the "salt opera" that is your tank, and the life of your fish.

Hope all is still well. Thanks again for the inspiration, I love how you love your fish so much!

Thanks very much. The tank continues to do well enough. The fish are certainly doing great, however my coral has not thrived for some time now. OK.. But not what it has been in the past.

Absolutely epic! Spent the last couple of weeks flicking back and forth.... It certainly has been a soap opera lol.... It's like we all know the stars of the show, whether they are past or present! I'm definitely inspired by your build, I can only dream one day that I can have a huge tank with a fish room. I've kept tangs in the past and I'm determined to do it again once I have the room for it! Keep up the good work.....

An update. Nothing much has changed. I've lost a lot of my coral lately...even while some coral shows a lot of improvement. So...I don't really know what my problems are at the moment. Old tank syndrome...

Anyway, here is how things are looking. As you can see, the fish are always happy.
