The picture is overly saturated. I feel like the owner just spent lots of money on corals and stock pile them together for show. It look like most are still frags and small size. Coral war is going to happen really soon.
Beautiful corals tho.

This 317 gallon reef tank is one of the most beautiful tanks I’ve ever seen. So many corals!
How much do you think this tank cost?

Watch the video:

Where's the fish? Love the color.

Most expensive? Not at all. Not by a long shot. There are reefers out there with a house built around a house sized aquarium where this tank absolutely dwarfs the cost of those builds.
And in my opinion, this tank does not even look nice. Someone just bought frags and glued them all together. Pass

While certainly a nice array of corals, Way too much blues for lighting IMO. Looks like a black light poster from back in the 70’s. Not natural at all.

Each to his own and all that but i find it an ugly tank, its like when you look at a piece of 'modern art' and wonder what the heck is art about it, when you can look at a Constable and bask in all its glory.

He has a nice selection, but there’s really no reason someone who’s in the hobby for 5-10 years can’t just trade frags with locals to get that diversity. If you started with a Walt Disney (or other really high end acro) and aggressively grew it out for a few years, it’s pretty reasonable to see trading a single frag for five-six other frags. I guess you could do that with grandmaster kraks too...

Really Nice Tank. Great Collection of Corals.
First impression is beautiful, and very colorful....
Personally it's a bit over packed and things are way over lapped.
The Center Pieces are Clusters, not individual prized specimens.
Nothing wrong, if that's your taste.
....and hat's off for keeping such a diversity in close proximity alive!
