    Nope I've not seen it since January the 14 06 LOL I'll call them to ask whats up wid dat :) I'm going to try and post some pictures of a redesign and installation of a 500 gallon we are just starting to get on. Won't do anything until I get the chiller built and ready thats the first thing . I'm working on a temp secuirty pass so the Boss lady can get in there so I can to get amcarrig to take some photos and i want to post some of the huge system that ATT designed and installed several yrs ago .
    Its 8 or 9 ft deep 18 ft long and 7 ft wide at the rear and 2 ft wide at the bow LOL Tank was built to look like a boats hull. It has 2 500 gallons flush devices over it. mechanical room to support it is 95 ft away . Its had natural coral spawns and and they have documented several species of tang's to do their spawning natural in there. They have been seen by many to school up and release their Eggs and then the males released their magic fluid LOL just incase kids are reading this I'm old school i guess LOL

    "But until I can upgrade the service the 12 250 M/H will have to suffice."

    Yeah, that is exactly what I have to tell everyone who looks at my tank

    ;D

    Was bragging about you last night Roger to KAS and showed her this post.

    Helped her spend some money on a Ca reactor and controller for her tank. I also brought her some frags to start out with.
    As soon as you get pics from the new system post them so we can all see.8) I want equipment pics...;D

    Question of cost

    Hi, first off let me compliment you on having a beatiful tank. That said, I was wondering how much the whole tank setup costed. I'm a little new at keeping saltwater fish in such large tanks. My goal is to have a 2500 gallon tank to house a blacktip reef shark (No small feat I know) but I am determined and committed and really want this. Any information you can provide on cost, expenses, setup needs, and tricks of the trade would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
