Just thought I’d share this YouTube video that I recently came across. It is somewhat brief and the creator, who goes by @BackyardOcean and only has this one video on this very young channel, doesn’t get into specifics like filtration and what not but still impressive nonetheless. So if you’re on this forum @BackyardOcean, I’d like to know more about this monster reef.

That thing is pretty sweet! Id sell my left manhood for it
 
Its very nice and inspiring, but looking at it in only sunlight I would miss the corals that fluoresce under blue lighting. Also there are very few places at least in America where this would or could work well. I am guessing mid Cali where the temp does not fluctuate very much with the seasons. Here its very cold in the winter and hot in the summer keeping fw ponds is a chore unless very big.
 
I just commented on his YouTube channel about how he should be on here. It is so sick.
 
The fact that it is divided also and has multiple sections is insanely cool.

Absolutely loved this video. Hopefully he doesn't suffer bird predators although I did notice some sort of cover.
Obviously in a very warm climate not ideal for most.
