I'm not sure if this one works or not but I took it and it is the reef tank at the Seattle Aquarium, I almost got the full tank but I couldn't get the one side because of all the people looking at it. It is at least 2,000 gallons.

Not in my opinion. LED's are good for supplementation and coral pop; not long term SPS growth into large, mature colonies.

Have you actually tried it, or are you just basing your opinion on...?

Tossing Twinspots_Goby into the mix for the potential alone, it's still in bloom give it 2 years and it should be a jaw dropper.

Also putting my name in the hat, still needs to grow out and have a bit of work done and needs some time to grow out and color up after fixing many problems over the past year or so.

Hopefully both of these tanks will have teh same awe factor in years to come

JOEZREEF (Joe Henderson) 225 (?) gallon. He lists it as a 300 gallon reef but I think he is figuring in his 75 gallon sump. What I like the most is the ship's wheel above the tank that gives me the feeling of piloting a ship over the top of the reef. Brings back my old Navy days at sea.

Basing my opinion on the various local tanks I see on the regular, all equipped with very nice LED units.

Bomber's BB tank. Dunno if the tank is still up or where he has been, but I LOVED this tank!

simply jaw dropping tanks!!!!! :bigsmile: It is such a pleasure to see so many incredible tanks in one thread with more to come. It all gives great ideas and so much eye candy.
So far I'd have to say that I like Steve Weasts former tank the best so far. The scaping is lifelike and the colonies are very proportional to the rest of the tank.
I can't wait to see more incredible tanks.
Thanks Rev for starting this thread.
