40 year old reef tank walk through

[Viking_Reefing]

I posted a video yesterday that seemed to peak the interest of a lot of reefers. It’s about the reef tank of a friend of mine that’s now been set up for 40(!) years straight. He’s a darn interesting dude: a legend in terms of custom big rig trucks, 86 years old, has a 1000g reef tank and drives a custom v10 Audi R8.
At some point I’ll sit him down and do a proper interview…as soon as I figure out a decent format as he doesn’t speak very good English hehe.

Impressive guy, impressive tank! What a life well lived - and still living!

That room is freaking awesome. I love the reef cave look. @Reefer Matt, I think this guy has taken your “reef cave” to a whole new level

Glad you liked it! I had a chat with him and he’s definitely game for a sit down interview in the next few weeks.
I’ll try to clear some time in my schedule and get it done…the editing will probably be a fairly involved task haha

Only knowing Swedish would be fairly limiting…not really a world language ;)
