    235 gallons Norwegian tank

    Just for the record, I am a newbie when it comes to filming (and aquarium for that matter)

    Hey Folks,

    This thread needs some recognition.

    "Guess what's in the box" made it to 10 pages, but this one is barely on it's second.

    We are better than that.

    AlexHall has built one hell of a system....

    I love the fact that just because you have this huge tank you didn't throw in every big fish imaginable. It looks great! Open and simple but your corals are all stunning. Well done bud.

    Very nice setup...very impressive for someone just starting out in the hobby. Having your sump and equipment in the basement/cellar is great. Mine is that way too...I can't imagine ever having a sump crammed under a stand again.

    Thank you, to build the aqua scape was not as easy as I thought. There were problems getting things to get where I wanted them. But after hours and a great amount of irritation, I got it almost as I wanted it. I was very pleased with the outcome.

    Thank you for reply :)

    Yes, I'm incredibly lucky to have this opportunity. Having it in the basement saves me a lot of space, plus I have a hobby room I can enjoy myself in without interference. In winter, it cost me a little extra in electricity costs, but I also save money in the summer when I do not have to use a cooler.

    Thank you ;)

    As I think I said earlier in the thread, I'm going to concentrate on my sps corals. But I'll going to get me some more fish later. But I share your passion for open and "clean" tanks. Thank you for feedback


    Wow. Thanks for breathing life into my thread. It is very inspiring and I will be updating the thread as often I can. Thanks again, I really appreciate the attention. (Ps. my English can be very clumsy sometimes, but I hope I make myself understood)

    Sincerely Alexander
