Ugly, poor example of what many public aquariums end up looking like. I hate to nitpic, but "hepatamus" tangs, are actually called Hepatus tangs, and they're a much more docile and sociable alternative to the powder blue that you see in the video. It just boggles my mind that professionals can so clearly put so little effort into a tank with that much money invested. Check out the Steinhart or Waikiki Aquariums if you're looking for some impressive displays run by passionate, knowledgable people.

update? Did they ever stock it?

It took one guy 2 months to aquascape that tank? I could have done it in 2 minutes, by shoveling the rock in with a JCB.

Still more corals than the coral reef... : (

+Ben de Witte I don't know where you went, but the reefs in St. Croix are packed with coral

Damn you guys are talking ALLOT Of shit. You don't have a world class 5200 gallon tank in a week........WTF> This is a long term project. Gime them a break please.

hatfieldenator - 10 years ago

This tank is absolute shit. I've seen it in person and it's looked this bad for a long time. They clearly have no idea what they are doing. I've seen beginner hobbyist with way better tanks.

Young Woodsman - 9 years ago

+UpsideDown Aquatics also there is no space on the sand bed

Young Woodsman - 9 years ago

Yeah it's still the beginning of he tank but the lighting sucks and there's not so much going on

RoadKillFrog - 9 years ago

Same

Ew, the aquascaping is hideous. You'd think that being professionals they'd be mildly competent at setting up a nice reef tank. This is embarrassing.

Patrice O'Neal - 10 years ago

This reef tank looks like shit, it's just big that's all.

I like the nipples I meant hipoo lmaoo

Nick Gilmartin - 11 years ago

Need as TON more coral! Montipora and cauliflower would look great in it. Also a really big star polyp or two.

Nick Gilmartin - 11 years ago

*needs

Wooden Tool Man - 11 years ago

Hippos are way easier than powder blues. Way easier.

dangappa - 11 years ago

The blue sand sifters pointed out in the tank yes. They look to be a large species. Would one of them be good for a 120 gallon, possibly two? Should I find a smaller one like an orange spot diamond goby instead?

gregdrivesajetta - 11 years ago

Are you talking about the sleeper gobies (amblygobius phalaena) in the beginning?

gregdrivesajetta - 11 years ago

It turns over 9x an hour? Kinda low; but i guess the limiting factor is finding a pump to move all that water.

Court Otawa - 11 years ago

captive "anything" fish included never live as long as they would in the wild with the exception of predators. Try again.

dangappa - 11 years ago

What kind of goby's are those? I can't find Blue-bar goby anywhere, and I can't find pictures of anything that looks like them. Where can I buy some

caron reform - 11 years ago

yes..

yaricksgym - 11 years ago

They probably have a continuous water change system. new water is pumped in 24/7 while old water goes into an overflow

dushyant kanwer - 12 years ago

no mate luckiest fish r there in open world where they belong actually we r being mean to them by keeping them in a prizon

qfour20 - 12 years ago

seriously, if he were to do a 10% water change weekly, which isn't that much, it would be over 500g lol

KOOLITUS - 12 years ago

THAT REEF TANK IS NICE BUT ITS GOT ALONG WAY TO GO BEFORE IT REALLY LOOKS OUTRAGEOUS

hey thats what i dreamed last night stop stealing my dreams and sharing them to others without my permission

Afrankiewicz - 12 years ago

525 ppm calcium levles are rather high

Slaver - 12 years ago

Probably would have been eaten or something. A huge tank that pretty much encompasses their full will to move around without straying too far from their shelter, absolutely no predators, and an endless supply of nutritious food is better than any natural fish's lifestyle.

maxbify - 12 years ago

i get a feeling they would be luckier if they didnt get cought.

Aamir Hassan - 13 years ago

they take the fishes out and take it to the bath room and clean the aquarium

Nic - 13 years ago

Who does water changes on the ocean?

masoroo818 - 13 years ago

6 people have 2.5 gallon tanks...

packinwood2009 - 13 years ago

mines bigger

wanik4 - 13 years ago

they probably turn a couple of valves and have the ro water already made...easy day.

proto35 - 13 years ago

it turns 9 times an hour.. jesus christ

OmgLoLw2gLuvUidkROFL - 13 years ago

You sound like another ad. Every aquarist already has effective equipment they use and love. ( : Beautiful HUMONGOUS tank, btw...lol

Powerman2442 - 13 years ago

There is a big difference between a dragon goby and a blue bar goby.

Powerman2442 - 13 years ago

Did you not listen to him? They are going to be adding to the tank over the next 15 years. You don't just go out and buy coral to fill a 5,200 gallon aquarium.

tristaryul - 13 years ago

i don't know but that tank looks lifeless, too many rocks pilled up, not enough fish and corals, When watching this video all you see is rocks. such a huge tank with so much potential shame

Taylor - 13 years ago

@Perkuleezful the guy in the video called them blue bar gobies, I have one and the pet store called it a dragon goby

Sam Sutnovsky - 13 years ago

@ducksmasher11 That's what I was thinking. I'm glad I have it in my tank, otherwise my angels would do nothing but nip at coral.

The Last Spycrab - 13 years ago

hah its not the clams sucking out that calcium.. its the Halimeda! they double their biomass every two weeks.. they are mostly calcium. the majority of aragonite is made up of halimeda species.

Perkuleezful - 13 years ago

what kind of goby is that at 2:21 - 2:38.. and where can i get one?

eduardo garcia - 13 years ago

luckyest fish ever

joe0813 - 13 years ago

@kogelkoppen85 true... i guess my 75 gallon is a lot different

kogelkoppen85 - 13 years ago

@joe0813 With a tank of this size, the Redox value of the water is very high.. totally dissolves the parts of the death fish. So.. you don't have to find it..
