Very nice looking tank, well done!
Greetings from a former resident of both Cape Town and Durban, now back in the US. (Was a pro musician in the orchestras in those two cities over 8 years).
My memory of the reefing scene in Durban back then was that most tanks were custom made by individual fish shops there and very few were imported from mainstream manufacturers due to the duties and shipping costs. Is that still the case? Also, there was a LFS owner in Durban who was basically constructing all-in-one tanks in his back room using either a glass or acrylic insert long before that became a commercial trend elsewhere (like Waterbox, etc)! Also, big difference between the US and RSA regards livestock is simply the relative cost and availablity of Caribbean species versus Indian Ocean species. That was many years ago, of course.
I'll never forget being at an LFS a Durban's Workshop (a mall created from a converted train station) and a local free diver had a bucket, yes, a bucket of Blue Koran juvenile Angels on him that he caught just off the beach and was trying to sell them to the shop. Needless to say one of those little guys went into my 75 gallon (280L?) tank for the duration of my time there.
