My 340 Gallon Miracles Tank Upgrade

[Dace]

What happened to your other thread??

http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/tank-threads/44053-my-340-gallon-upgrade.html

I had a photobucket issue and my account was delete due to spamming so all links were removed and i did not have option to put the pics back in so i started a new one.

Very nice! Lots of hard work you put in (thats for both time & $$ :smile: )

I always admire how you guys can do all these house modifying yourselves.

I think when your tank grow out, it is going to be a force to reckon with :knockedou

Can't wait to see the updated pics. With your serious dedication to the hobby your tank will have no choice but to kick butt!
Only advice I could offer is to have some kind of stocking structure. What I mean is too much of a good thing is bad. I know you want to have all the latest and greatest corals but when a tank is too packed you end up with the fruit stand look. Later down the road you could always thin out your less desired corals if you choose to do so.
Anyway, keep it up Dave. I have to come see the tank in person soon.

Your advise is very well taken. A 340 gallon tank is not easy to fill, physically nor financially, but it is an eyesore when it looks pretty empty, i will have all the time in the world to cherry pick my tank when it grows out and remove my undesired corals so i can keep my cream of the crop. let me know whenever you would like to come up, Sunday, monday are best for me :biggrin:

Wow Very nice. I actually think I can Dive in your tank. Im bringing my scuba gear over to try it out what do you think. It would be a great photo shot plus i can bring a scrub brush and help clean. Looks awsome.
