Do you lease out office space??? :)

I just put a pair of wav's in my 6ft tank and the flow is amazing.

Yes this is what I have heard from a lot of people and why I did not go with 4 mp 40s or Gyre XF130s. I just hope I can get all 4 pumps working the way I want.
As for the office space... The tank is in my basement and the "Desk" you would think was for work but is a gaming rig as I am a avid PC gamer :).

Very nice!

Thank you!

Dude this is totally nuts - you're fully living the reef dream!! [emoji23][emoji1305][emoji1303][emoji305][emoji225]
:p
Almost, I think Peter (before the crack) and Bill are living the reef dream... One day I will have a ridiculous reef aquarium.. I am 29 so I have some time to catch up.

Just finished my new lids for my 2 AFS. I re did them to have a split so I can access the tank and it can feed through 1.5"x 2.5" holes.


The lid's are cut from 1/4" lexan.

How often you have to fill your apex dosers? Seems for a tank your size those would need to be filled quite often? Assuming you are running 2 part? Very nice tank! All have to have something to aspire to! My gaming computer is right next to my tank as well!

I do dose, EVS 2 part and yes I have to fill them up once a week but I don't mind as it forces me to maintain the tank. Nothing better then gaming next to you tank, relaxing me as I lose to a 9 year old swearing at me. :p

Thank you! I am quite happy how it turned out.

I also am excited to share with everyone a interview i did with LEOPAZZO TV on youtube. He came over and we talked about my tank and livestock. He is going to be releasing it in sections as the interview quickly turned into a few hrs of talking:).


Hope you enjoy and the whole experience was quite fun!

I like it. I was just watching the "view from my desk" video and the humming from my wave maker exactly matched the wave in your tank. LOL

Wow! That is insane. How do you transport something that large or is built on site?
