Wicked nice. How do you find time to do anything else with such an extensive set up?

I may pm for some frags if cool with you
The tank actually requires very little maintenance. I change about 50 gallons of water a month, clean skimmer, change gfo and carbon. Because it is glass, algae is easy with a metal blade on magnets about 2-3 times/week. The most time is spent testing alk/calc/mag/phos and tweaking the calc reactor

Tank and rest of your setup looks great. Is the display tank on a concrete slab floor?
Thanks, yes it actually sits in a garage bay on the concrete slab. The blue background is actually an insulated curtain that is about 3 feet behind the tank so it is easily accessible. The garage is 18" below the house which leaves 52" under the stand for all the filtration and frag tank.

I'm terrible at taking pics. Anyone have a DSLR or great camera skills and want to come take pics that do this tank justice? ...and get a few free frags? I'm in Monroe, CT 06468.

@vetteguy53081 did you see this yet?
yes. Gotta love big, beautiful tanks !!! Had awesome coral scheduled to arrive today Overnite express and UPS totally screwed it up and arriving tomorrow. With this 100 degree weather, I expect everything to be dead and dont even know if I want a re-ship. Totally disgusted with lack of concern with shippers!!

I had given this 92 gallon tank to my neighbor across the street. He sold his house and gave it back so I plumbed it into my frag system yesterday. I took the 2 giant leathers out of my display tank which gave me a lot more real estate for sps!
