Default Dave's 140ish gallon sps experiment

So back about 3 months ago, i had to shut down my 947 gallon sps tank due to not having enough time to look after it the way it need too

turns out a big sps tank is a cool idea, but really took way too much time and money to make it work.

so fast forward two months and the idea of not keeping sps just didn't sit will with me, so i decided to have a new tank build for my desk at work.



After setting it up I had a chance to try a few lighting options on it, tried Radions g4 pros, kessil 360, ai primes, ati t5's but ending up settling for the kessil ap 700's



after been told by a few people the ap700 looked too getto on the tank and i just not happy with how it had to be mounted, I ended up switching them out for 5 kessil 360's







more to coming as i starting adding more sps to this tank

Thanks Dave

What an amazing concept. Never seen a tank with a look-down pane for top-down viewing like that. Can't wait to see it when everything is in and growing.

Not sure what to call that tank anymore lol I figure it was much easier to turn it into this than to try and cut it apart





got some really cool albino heckelli in there now

have some dart frogs on top but don't really see them too often
