The tank is obviously a well cared for healthy and beautiful system, however, there is no rhyme or reason to it. There is no design whatsoever, no aquascaping, no color coordinating, no visual thought no artistic consideration. It a collection of corals jammed packed together. Beautiful, yes- Stunning, no and certainly not tank of the decade. A stunning system must be more than a mere collection of corals on a rock wall it is a living landscape. Steve Weast's tank was by far more thought out and complete than this one. Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to have than tank- I just would have done it very differntly.

Less than lights- True True, Nice collection of corals for sure but it does lack a true aquascaping with a balance toward colors.

beautiful tank... personally I think it looks well thought out

[spsick]

I agree about the jam packed thing, and steves aquascaping by far surpasses it. but this tank,stand and canopy are simply amazing to me
(and it was probably a third of the cost of weast's tank)
sorry to offend you with that title lessthanlights,
title should have been tank of the decade in my opinion

[storrisch]

Did you guys see the surveillance camera mounted on top of the canopy....better not F with this guys reef.

[mattb]

That's an awesome tank... They guys knows his foshnizzle and has a lot of top end equipment.... He's making me want to add another wavebox to my 120...

[deathmatch782]

that is an impressive tank, if only i had that kind of money........

[epidemic]

that kind of money? I bet there are a handfull of small countries that wish they had that kind of money

What would you use an air compressor for? He has one in his equipment list.

Large skimmer perhaps, when you get to a certain size you have to feed them ait to keep up

[mattb]

No the skimmer is a downdraft, no need for an air compressor for that beastie... I saw that too and was puzzled....

[spsick]

he has a live webcab on the tank 24/7 too!

you have to install the activexcontrol, but it's cool! you might have to stay up to 3am to see the lights on :)

I guess I'm too much of a newbie to criticize the aquascaping. I agree it does look crowded, but I think it's quite beautiful.

[thegrimreefer]

So.... With all these critiques on this guy's aquascaping... who is our resident expert with the artistic eye? Who has the best eye for aquascaping?

I don't mean "Who knows technically how to drill and rod together structures. Certainly we do have THAT expertise... I mean, who can say "Lay it out like THIS and THIS and like THAT", so it can technically be drilled and rodded together, and actually have it LOOK nice.

I might be able to assemble almost any sort of rockwork, given enough patience, but I KNOW that I don't an eye for the artistic, aesthetically pleasing result.

Anyone? (and YES, just by the way, I DO happen to have a LARGE aquascaping project coming up, why do you ask? :-)
