    Was searching videos and came across this 1200G monster of a reef tank:eek: Enjoy!


    YouTube - 1200 gallon reef at 9000 feet


    I'm also curious if there are special modifications/concerns that need to be considered with reef tanks at elevation?....this tank being at 9,000 feet!

    think about it though; only 8 powerheads for a 1200g tank. vortechs are a-mazing

    I've seen this tank vid before. I never got to watch the entire thing because I got too jealous.
    I would love to have all of those vortechs.
    And a mated pair of naso tangs? Geese, that lucky guy;D

    Well and truely awesome, i love that its a peninsula. Some awesome colour and big clams going on there.
    Im sure its something that will happen as its only 2 months old, but i would think it could do with some more rock in there.

    yeah, i agree phoenix, that tank can definately take more rock. however, it also looks pretty cool just having those large islands for those big fish to swim around...and they are big fish!
