The ins and outs of my 20,000 gallon reef tank .

Thought I would share a few picture of my QT system with your guys . new fish stay her for up to two months before going into the big tank . we try not to run any medications so we dont cause any undo stress .

Hey Bill !!! Tony from Sheboygan area. Been a While. When did you go 20K gallons?? WOW

To those unfamiliar with bill, he is a mini master and builds everything himself. Never a creation but a masterpiece.

Are those two huge Blochii's in this photo? How big are they? That blue coloration is amazing on those guys, awesome :thumb:

Live Aquaria Cali sent us a Blochii instead of a Dussumieri, so now we have a Blochii and a Dussumieri going into our 400g. I am worried about having 2 fish that grow so large in such a "small" tank. This photo of yours doesn't make me feel any better about the situation :twitch:...... :lol:

My Dussomieri at 9". Plenty of room yet in my 360g

Bill, I am rather new to this hobby 2014 and new member on R2R and I just read your first posts. This is absolutely amazing and so cool you have done this all your self! My husband would lov it. I can’t wait to show him your posts. I see your from Wisconsin, may I ask what your education background is if you went to college and where? Just curious. I lov seeing other people from Wisconsin on here. Where do you get your fish from? We have a 300gal reef, 180gal fo and 93gal to be a reef when it’s old enough. My husband likes to build things too and built our sumps himself not anywhere near like yours but nice for a guy with no engineering or plumbing background. Thank you so much for sharing! Best regards, Kindel from Green Bay, Wisconsin!

Jeez, I've been contemplating my next tank and it's a paltry 2,500 gallons .....

No probelms with hime , he has been in there for three years .

Ditto here on the Columbian. One of my favorite fish that I actually almost managed to forget about!

I had one in the 30 gallon planted tank believe it or not and he got about 9 inches long. Mystery death at 9"...prolly 2-3 years old...suspected the freshwater chemistry (never transitioned to salt or brine) but there was almost no info about them outside of Axelrod's Atlas so that was guesswork.

Please keep posting pictures of him.

These are all pictures from when the tank drained . you can see the six inch pipe that burst .

That hurts even just to look at

That thing will have some serious contact time. Amazing all around.

Aren’t you located in Wisconsin? I think I saw a video saying that.

I have went through every pump out there over the years from reeflo to abyzz and I will never go back to any of them . I use these industrial 2hp magnetic drive pumps used in chemical plants now . today I upgraded the variable frequency drives on them to newer units that will communicate with my control system . the pump are three phase which allows me to control the speed any way I like by changing the frequency of the drive . they are expensive but well worth the cost when I dont have to worry about one failing .
