Introducing my home 17k gallon reef

[albano]

He was over again recently delivering me some coral

So he got the Season Pass!
I gotta contact Yelsin for mine.

We do have some corals now plus we drain alk from the sulfur reactors.

That makes sense. What have you chosen for corals? You’ve got some room to let things go absolutely nuts!

It goes without saying that this entire setup is absolutely unbelievable, the time and effort that has gone into making a dream like this a reality is more impressive in my opinion than the cost. I’d wager there are plenty of folks in the world who have the means to do something like this that would never follow it through to make it happen. After reading the entire thread start to fish what really impressed the most was how down to earth you seem to be, despite the grandeur of it all you come across as a very humble and regular reefer, just like all the other enthusiastic hobbyists on here. Good on you for being able to keep that balance even with the success you’ve had in life.

On a side hobby note, I saw on your facebook page you had made it up to Grand Lake Stream! Fly fishing is one of my other hobbies as well, let me know if you ever want to hit up some other spots up here in Maine, The Rapid up Rangeley way is a phenomenal piece of water if your looking for large native brook trout.

Very nice! The world could use more “normal” well off folks like yourself who don’t let money and things define who they are. You seem to care more about the experience and enjoying that than what something cost. There must have been 100 times in the thread where you were asked about costs, and each time you politely declined to say. I’ve met plenty of folks with a bit of money who cant seem to tell you quick enough how much this costs or how much they spent on that…

The Smallie addiction is real! When I was in highschool i spent what seemed like every available moment chasing them. Pound for pound its hard to find a different fish that is any better. When they are hitting top water lures hard its enough to make a grown man giggle like a little schoolgirl.

Very, very...Coolio.. .

Exactly. Love

Anyone tell me where I could get tickets? Lol

 

[Saltandfresh]

And just when i thought that a 3-4ft tank was deep back :D

Simply amazing !!!

The statistical numbers on this system would blow any bodies mindo_O

Seriously. I have a Red Sea 350 and the upkeep takes up all my free time money.

Tank is looking great! After all that hard work it has paid off well.

 

[Jlew766]

What a tiny tank, couldn't you get a bigger one I mean honestly you can even get a boat in there and fish in it... not worth having imo.

Just kidding obviously, that section of reef you are keeping looks absolutely amazing. Definitely goes in as a dream tank of mine.

How on earth did I miss this thread? And I thought the builds on reefcentral was outrageous, this is just pure insanity.

This display is much much better than Shedd Aquarium Caribbean Reef display. The only thing you're missing is the green sea turtle.

You're staff.. are you hiring? I can quit my current job.... i am just asking for room and board with a bowl of rice a day.
