I feel like I have a beta in a bowl on the back of my toilet after seeing this.

Holy mother of pearl Batman! That's MASSIVE! His skimmers look like they hold more than my tanks!

And with this one, you can't move it.:bigsmile:

This dude is not normal. Did you see the RO/DI DIY?! I mean seriously! And the programming system he built himself, and somewhere he mentions that he dropped out of high school...

 

[TinaFoster]

Bill Gates dropped out of college too. This guy might change the hobby forever!

Speaking of moving, anyone up for another move? A bigger tank is in our future. And I'm not much help!

way to kill a good thread Tina!:wink:

 

[TinaFoster]

You brought up the moving! It was there--can't blame a (not)guy.
Anyway it's not for me exactly--it's for MyWifesACrab. He's an old man, you know! And that reminds me, I have to help him change his nick. Maybe later.

Ok a couple of things bother me about this guys tank : 1. with tank and filter room it's bigger than my apartment 2. Hi skimate cups are bigger than my tank 3. His electric cost is almost as much as I make in a month 4. He had spare Ferrari engines chilling in his shop

I better keep saving cans and bottles , buying lottery tickets , and stay in school so I can have indoor swimming pool / reef
I WANT ONE!!
good find

Oh, and he works on his own Ferrari engines too... Wonder what his company is, anyone know...

 

[Reefer5060]

Idk what his company is but I think it would be a good investment lol. The guy is like iron man an mcguiver .

Wow, just went through that 17 page thread. That is really cool. I wouldn't be a fan of having to dive in the tank to add stuff or clean....just not my thing. But that is pretty amazing.

I bet those fish are really happy in that setup. Plenty of room to roam.

Its nice to look at, but I dont think I could ever handle anything like that. I wouldn't even know where to start on all the equipment.

I wanna be this guy when I grow up.......oh wait, too late.

Somewhere in there he mentions that he thinks this one is too small. And that this was a learning process for him. He's looking into building a 60,000 gallon hexagon tank. He's just having a hard time configuring to the house. jeeez! I guess no matter what you do in this hobby, we are always thinking upgrade,upgrade, upgrade!

here is his quote on what he does for a living. Oh and by the way, he dropped out of high school when he was a junior

"I own a company that buys surplus analytical instruments used in the pharmaceutical and other industries and rebuilds and them and then sells them to other company's . we mainly work on HPLC , which is high pressure liquid chromatography , GCs which is gas chromatography and mass spectrometers . some of the instruments you would see on the CSI crime shows in the labs "
