is this the tank that rotates? this is amazing. but it looks like it's in the corner of the room.
wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the circle tank?

Dude, if the tank rotates it really does not matter where you put it. If youre stationary, you get to see the whole thing

The tank does rotate. The rotation has 3 major purposes:

1)The house is not big enough for a 5 feet round tank to sit in the middle of the room, so the rotation will slowly bring out the "back" of the tank to the viewer.

2)It was designed to mimic the angles of the sunlight from day to night and vice versa

3)The tank will rotate while the light is stationary thus making a lighting effect not to stay stationary and minimize fix directional growth of some SPS.

The next design will include variable speed to mimic the cloud shading effects. Current implementation is fixed speed due to durability issue of the motor. During making of this prototype, variable speed will shorten the life of the motor which defeat the purpose of automation. I expect variable speed will be incorporated in the next 10 feet round tank in couple months. Stay tuned.

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.

i guess ur right. but i figure it would look better in the middle of the room.

HAHAHA it would be fun if you rotate along with the tank just to keep up with it so that you are always seeing the same view. Just some crazy dumb thoughts that always pop up in my head.

hahaha i was thinking i could race a fish swimming aound the tank
