    I think he should've started with a smaller tank since this was his first reef tank.

    Yep, bet he did not have a clue about it being almost a full time job maintaining a system of this size.

    Can't help but feel sorry for him (and his banking account). :-/

    It seems like the biggest thing I've learned from this site is to have patience... Glad I found my way to 3Reef.....

    with this much equipment, time/money spent, and a big arse hole in the wall, you would think he would nut up and try at least a few more times, THE LOW AND SLOW WAY.
    almost like this was a fly by night hobby for him.

    Rich or "Bi-Polar" (both?) --- will never know for sure.

    Was an engineering marvel.

    Would have to nearly rebuild house to undo.

    You guys with really big tanks can probably better imagine then I can the amount of effort it would take to maintain a tank of this size.

    Too sad.

    Just work of keeping up a Nano may have discouraged him before taking on this massive undertaking.

    Lots of lessons here for all of us.
