Looks great keep up the great work

Thanks Clayton!

On the first page of this build,,, GEEZ ,,, 909 gallons,,, two sumps,, over 600 gallons ,,, just wow I was wondering I live on the coast , so saltwater tanks aren't that big of a deal,, as I am sure is the same with all of the other coast areas we have in the US,,, but Oklahoma ,,, they can't be all that common,,, what kinda of reactions do you get when you tell people you have a SW Tank,,, and then hit them with,, just how big it is lol

Hey Braves Fan,
They are actually pretty common in Okc and Tulsa... we have a surprising amount of LFS and even nice tanks in town.. obviously just about anyone that has seen this one is blown away at the size and what all is into it but I personally know of a couple other larger reef tanks locally. Also, my best friend has a two sump system with large DT and three large frag tanks all plumbed together... and Bill who did the build on this one has several large tanks in the works currently and just did a 1,000 gallon before mine. All through Planet Aquariums too... i’m Still convinced they build the VERY best LARGE tanks.

Following, I love all the details behind the build

Thanks Ibacha!

Almost forgot my huge male purple tang!

Awesome! Are there any additional fish on the wish list? Would think something like a barienne/unicorn tang would be sweet with all that room.

 

[HmoneyReefOkc]

Oh yeah... the list is pretty extensive. I mainly wanted to get all Zebrasoma’s in at once. Only exception is adding a black tang. But as far as other large tangs i’ll For sure get a blonde naso male and a vlamingi. Unicorns get too big for me and this tank. Maybe my next tank will have a unicorn or two.

Epic, did you qt all of those fish? If so I imagine just that was a massive undertaking lol. I'm so jealous I'd love to have an ocean in my living room......

So I added a few more fish this past week.... these are the only three that truly matter.

Look who decided to show up to the build thread of their own build!! Welcome.

Pardon the pics as I don’t saturate any photos or “gloss” them up. This is how the corals look under the light whichever time of the day i take them. I just use an aqua gadget gel filter so the camera pic turns out as the eye sees it.

Without further adieu..
