Calling All Beautiful Tank Owners

Ok so I am compiling a list of people who have amazing tank, beautiful corals, and interesting fish.

I've been trying to shoot digital HD video of as many corals as possible and am looking for people who have some nice specimens. I'm looking for nice size colonies of unusual or attractive corals, fish with interesting behaviors, and all around nice tanks that I can do some features on. I already have talked to prattreef about taking some video of his tanks and have done a few test shots on Josh's tank (although i had some settings off so they didn't turn out as well as I wanted).

I'd also like to take some video of the Manhattan Aquariums and Reef Aquariums show tanks as well as the reef tank of all reef tanks at Atlantis.

Besides that, anyone have any suggestions or ideas that they'd like to throw out there?

Here's some video I have done of my own tank so far.

Well, a few members have mentioned that I have a couple nice pieces, and maybe a nice tank, but if you can hold off till I get the new 450g display set up, I would be honored to have you film/record it, for all to enjoy! And more importantly, I hope to display that beautiful painting (by you), when you lose our skimmer bet!

Any tank that has been going for 36 years seems like a good subject to me. It's not necessarily about who has the most expensive corals, it's supposed to be educational and entertaining, and anyone who has a reef tank going for 36 years has something to teach us all.

If you are going to Atlantis Aquarium for filming, please let me know-I am also planning to host a show of their tanks. May be we can do it together to share our experience and save their workers some hazzle.

Paul's tank has to be one my top5 most interesting tanks.. 75% of the reefers won't last 3 years let alone 36... Sorry, the truth hurts.. Keeping a reef or any saltwater system going good requires 40%knowledge and 40%dedication, 10% love and 10% experimentation with good out outcomes,,,,lol...
