    clues to the ultimate tank:

    when you have to where scuba gear to place rock
    it takes 3 truck loads of water to fill the tank
    the skimmer is as big as you are

    when its close to being done and you want to celebrate its the cheap bottle of wine that counts

    trully amazing, and well worth checking back at a later date for updates

    WOW, that is some impressive work. That is the most detailed prior planning I have ever seen.

    I find it funny that he used stock photos for LiveAquaria.

    Cha-ching! That whole project must have took a huge chunk of change.

    I have been following this build on another forum and it is absolutely AWESOME!!

    This guy is not super rich, but just decided to spend the money on his dream. The attention to detail has been mind blowing.

    Wow. And I am freaking out over a NEO Nano. :)

    Just the size of one of the lamps give it some scale.
    The electric bill must be more than my rent.
