22ft long, 2,000 gallon reef tank. Many of you have followed us working on it, now see this featured on BRS

[Lor]

what are his paremeters? glad to see a very successful tank using the brs alk, cal and mag.

We may have cut a frag off of it... be on the look out lol

Oh I so wish, but unfortunately I live outside the US so shipping really isn't possible

Oh darn! Sorry to hear

Oh darn! Sorry to hear

It can be a bummer sometimes, BUT if you guys did ship to Canada I'd probably be broke lol so all for the greater good I say!

In the BRS video I loved his skimmer, it was basically a large boiler...lol. I'ld have a generator just for the tank.

The whole house is on a backup generator. Just in case lol

lol You would just have to make a Top Shelf budget!

Impressive! Maybe it was said in the video and I missed it, how thick is the acrylic? Agree that flow becomes a problem in a really large (and long) tank. Too bad there aren’t better alternatives to 27 pumps. Love the zebra tang!

I believe its 1.5" acrylic. The zebra tang is one of our favorites too. We almost kept him here at the store lol but figured 22ft was a little larger home than we have here at the farm.

It almost seems that at 22ft would make a good tank for a surge device. Not sure if the tank has EURO bracing or not but that size I'd bet the tank walls could withstand the force. Then again not sure what sort of structure would work since you probably want to move 40 to 60 gallons at once. That would be a interesting whoosh / wave

Yeah, thats a good point. If I ever get around to doing a truly huge tank, I’d definitely look into Carlson/Bourneman style surge devices.

While I am sure that would be awesome. I definitely think I would want to plan that with the initial build of a system. Would be cool to see some waves though lol

Yeah - it would be part of the design no doubt. Probably equally impressive

Does @TopShelfAquatics or anyone else know a name for this substrate or where to get it?
