I've been wanting to put this together for awhile but haven't had the camera to do so. I finally was able to get someone over with a good camera but she couldn't figure out apparently how to get the settings right. So as bad as these pictures are here it is nonetheless.

A few acknowledgments are in order as well
First and foremost, Ron from Kelly's Warehouse who convinced me to go saltwater instead of fresh while stopping in for supplies.
Pure Reef for all the helpful advice as well as a fantastic store so close to my house.
Chris from Fish Scales for the tank reseal and the custom sump. Truly you are a stand up guy!
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but hell it's late and I'm trying to get the pics up!

The system
196 gallon low iron glass (Fish Scales Alternative to Starphire) 60x24x30
90 gallon sump 30g refug
Reeflo Barracuda runs the entire setup
Oceans motion 4 way
MRC MR2
1/3 hp JBJ Chiller
3 400w MH
3 Panorama actinic modules


This is just a teaser, more pics to follow...........

Looking good Jesse. I need to come see this bad boy in person.

Yes you do, your welcome anytime!

I'll have some pictures later of that zoa collection I've been working on. It's now very very extensive.

I smell a frag fest. I have some nice lps for trade for some.

I need to work up the courage to frag, i'm still a virgin and very much intimidated by the whole thing.

LOL let me know. I can always bring my stuff.

Its not that bad man, just wear eye protection. One time Robb was fragging with a band saw and the dust gave him a bad allergic reaction. He was ok but all of us were a lil worried about him and were relieved when he checked back in. I think zoas will spit and if it gets in your eyes it may cause some temp blindness. The actual fragging isnt difficult though. The system looks great I just hate you let that bad A 72 go

Edit: I love that shelf rock in the middle I have something similar. Way to go bro

Edit: man I cant stop drooling dude, I freakin love the aquascaping!!!!! Everytime I pull up the pic it gets better and better. I would love to see this in person one day!!!

Your tank looks Fantastic! You have your own ocean:D

WOW that's a great looking tank! Awesome job with the aquascaping, that really looks perfect!

My only complaint is that you need to upload more pictures! :D Nice job on everything
