Legendary Aaron R - 8 years ago

what is the point of the "lightning" and it changing color over the day?

Legendary Aaron R - 8 years ago

oh.

Tidal Gardens Inc. - 8 years ago

+Aaron R it's largely a feature to sell lights to people. It probably has no beneficial effect on the tank inhabitants. The dimming effects maybe, but not the lightning.

I wouldn't put the sump under the tank ! Maintenance is key and easy , accessibility to the sump is the only way ! Fat man has money to pay for his tank to be maintained by someone other than him ! NEXT VIDEO PLEASE !

Quibli - 8 years ago

tonenj09 - 9 years ago

crankyboiy - 10 years ago

Some 20"+ lower jaw bichirs and teugelsi would look amazing =)

Tone NJ - 10 years ago

"one of the most talented carpenters i ever met" "his projects are well thought out" ??? 1:03 he had to add a nailer in for the end of his sheet

muffemod - 7 years ago

Tittylovwr - 11 years ago

Dee From Brooklyn - 11 years ago

I can't express how jealous I am of this build. It's simply breath taking and its still empty

TruckLoadaFish - 11 years ago

where do you buy the cabinet cover.

Owen Prescott - 11 years ago

I would rather see this transformed into a tropical aquascape with loads of very small fish to increase the feel of scale even further.

RICHARD JUE - 11 years ago

I would stock with goldfish

Daemiex - 11 years ago

id stock it with sheldon coopers glow in the dark fighter fish

triumphags - 11 years ago

I'd run as an Ultralith (or Zeovit) system, with a shoal of Regal tangs (Hippo's in the U.S. i think), a Queen angel, some gobies & blennies; & then spent a not so small fortune on coral from White Corals in Germany (they ship overnight to England & their stock is awesome)..... & I would be very much in debt

JT Vintila - 11 years ago

If it was mine, i would only go for rare expensive fish.

radsdad1 - 11 years ago

20 Chromis and 5 yellow tangs

Daniel Martinez - 11 years ago

Stock it with one goldfish

Jeff Whatmough - 11 years ago

he has a lot of swimming area depending on his aquaculture. Also as a local to your shop than I would suggest a harlequin tusk for color or a flame prawn goby. Possibly a mystery wrasse, purple tang or faxface for algae control. I imagine this is a display tank so you will want utility fish along with colorful fish. Of course the six line wrasse and Mandarin dragonet. A possible diamond goby. To compliment you display aspect maybe some schooling fish such as firefish either regular or helfrichi?

Marine Biologist - 11 years ago

I will Add Everything :P , if i find a small whale i will add it to the tank also . Beautiful , well done. cant wait to see it alive and active.

sea buzz - 11 years ago

very very nice ! thumbs up

Wesley Forbes II - 11 years ago

Awesome!

Tony Nguyen - 11 years ago

love those lights

TooManyPotions - 11 years ago

I'd have two or three islands of live rock and have an SPS island, soft island, and LPS island, and mix a few non aggressive softies throughout the SPS and LPS island, and then for fish i really do not know

Tidal Gardens Inc. - 11 years ago

Yes, I will be.

Tidal Gardens Inc. - 11 years ago

The annotations should be up on the video now!

adidashawty - 11 years ago

Of course acros and anthias

RavineDriver - 11 years ago

I can't find the new channel either

Daniel Leon - 11 years ago

Awesomeness!!

DeepCover66 - 11 years ago

Can you post a link to the new channel? Cant find it. Thanks

proformer - 11 years ago

inspiration

achguk - 11 years ago

Definitely an sps and lps reef.

Billy Tison - 11 years ago

Full sps and mixed soft and lps corals beautiful fish and even some that are risky like an Angel or Butterfly fish as for rock work very challenging and intricate with cave ledges creating a very odd and natural look

Ethan Russell - 11 years ago

Will you be talking on the other channel?

JoshA7fold - 11 years ago

Wow. The build looks awesome. And if it were my tank i'd have an intricate rock setup with a few caves and have it look very natural look. SPS on the top and a few ricordea mushrooms near the sand bed. Mostly LPS and soft coral dominate. Frogspawn, bubble corals, maybe a brain coral. Some nice colored corals for sure with a few small fish, and maybe a Rusty Angel and some nice inverts. A reef tank for sure

Smokkedandslammed - 11 years ago

I just built my first stand, and it looks like a hobo's cardboard box in comparison to that. He did an amazing job and from what I can tell, tons of prep. Also, I could watch your vids all day dude lol

Eddie G - 11 years ago

Anything but sps.

dioncuda - 11 years ago

well, a tank this big, i would have to put every thing in it i could get my hands on :)

i4yue - 11 years ago

blue ring octopus....

sleepytyme1 - 11 years ago

sps on top with euphyllia wall amd huge zoa garden...and lots of tangs with maroon pair!! mmmm yaaa!!

Tarenmor1 - 11 years ago

That looks like a fantastic set up and an amazing build. Also, incredibly pricy! But, you don't get into this hobby if you're not willing to spend a few dollars. And isn't it worth it, in the end? That said, in response to your question. I'm new to reef keeping. But I'm particularly fond of some of the brighter LPS's I've seen. Hammers, and a few mushrooms. I would love to see a sizable mantipora or two and even some actual plant life in the tank itself. I would only use enough fish to pop.

Rico Suave - 11 years ago

I would do a sea grass bed with some colony's of stony corals and some sea horses with an array of invertebrates

Rico Suave - 11 years ago

Damn can't wait to start up my saltwater tank
