I am running 15 PAR38 full spectrum leds. The extra tank underneath is for dosing liquids. 4x50L sections, so i can make up a whole years worth. Check out my full tour video

Is that in an apartment or a house. If it's an apartment, have you had any problems with like supporting structures on the ceiling below you or landlord?

Beautiful tank! Can you tell me the dimensions of your tank? My 400 gallon Lee mar will be installed in 30 days from now

Aaron Clark - 12 years ago

Very nice. Ive been saving for a year now to build a custom 500gallon in my basement hopefully looks as good as that

is that a quarantine tank on the left of the sump with four sections?

MrWarriorpro - 12 years ago

man you got to make more videos of the tank i love the tank makes me want to build my own big tank lol

Nathan Bennett - 12 years ago

The tank is entirely glass, 15mm sides, 25mm base. It is 200cm x 80cm x 80cm

MrWarriorpro - 12 years ago

is that glass are acrylic? if so whats length width and hight? if glass whats the thickness?

reddevil258 - 12 years ago

its a piece of living art! What are you running for lights? and what are the containers next to your sump for?

david chudleigh - 12 years ago

Fabulous (and that is from a straight guy) tank. Brilliant

Nathan Bennett - 12 years ago

It really depends on the dimensions of the tank. If it wasn't very deep, then you could get away with getting the wider angle lenses available. Feel free to send me an email with the details, and ill do what i can. nathan.xpress@live.com

The total cost is between 12-13 thousand AUD. But that is with no livestock, just the tank, sump, stand, cabinetry, lights, pumps, skimmer, fluid reactors, live rock and sand. Took a while to save, but i used that time to do research and decide on exactly what i wanted. I looked at every tank video and journal i could find, and took notes of what i liked, and what i didn't. Needless to say, years of careful planning when into it all.

chris turner - 12 years ago

total rough cost if you dont mind me asking????????

johnVidBozo - 12 years ago

Very cool using what you have available. It's one of the smoothest non-pro videos on Utube. Shaky camera work is one of my pet peeves. I'll have to try your technique.

Wife's choice. wasn't convinced at first, but seems to grow on you, and works well.

Nathan Bennett - 12 years ago

My Next video will hopefully explain all. Stay Tuned!!!

Nathan Bennett - 12 years ago

Thanks. LOL you going to laugh, but i don't even own a tripod yet, so to get all the shots, i sat the camera on top of an overturned saucepan, which in turn was on top of a 1.2M step ladder, which was on a towel. i used the towel so i could push the whole thing around without is vibrating to much.

This song has me at full wood

johnVidBozo - 12 years ago

Great tank. Really nice 'dolly shot' starting at 2:45. How did you do that? If that's your camera work when 'rusty', I'm really looking forward to your work all polished up! :)

MrWarriorpro - 12 years ago

you think 3 of these bulbs would do allright on a 40 gallon breeder tank for growing sps corals give me ur advice what ya think

Betta Gene - 12 years ago

i would love to see what kind of lighting is up there, nice sump system now question what are the extra tanks for on the left of the main sump may i ask...my friend you have a beautiful tank god bless

demis veulemans - 12 years ago

awesome looking tank you have there, keep up the good work :)

Sam Faulkes - 12 years ago

Very nice tank! Love these peninsula builds!

tlalok08 - 12 years ago

This is beautiful!!!! awesome keep up the great work u are doing its amazing!!!!

Nathan Bennett - 12 years ago

I will do a full tour on my next video, and once i tidy it up a bit :/ This was just a quick video i threw together to play with my camera, and show friends and family the tank they have been hearing me talk about for months.

Nathan Bennett - 12 years ago

Thankyou I currently have 8 ledtric full spectrum globes, 3 ledtric trupop globes, and 4 ecoxotic globes. I have such a different range because i was trying to decide what would give my the look i was after. I would definitely go for the ledtric globes, so am in the process of changing the ecoxotics over. Also the reason i run so many, is due to something Mr Saltwater tank said once, that he liked thing modular. So now if a globe blows, i dont need to send of my entire lighting system for repair

Nathan Bennett - 12 years ago

Thank you very much mate, i will definitely look into the different modes on the vortechs, and am waiting and deciding on a setup with a profilux controller to make life a little easier.

Luke Bennett - 12 years ago

Awesome tank setup!!!! Very healthy fish and coral too!!!

epsyuma - 12 years ago

Very nice setup!

Paul Viles - 12 years ago

Stunning! Would love to see inside the sump a little better.

EB Jaj - 12 years ago

Breathtaking you did a really good job on your tank .just saw the post Mr. Saltwater Tank posted on facebook .if i may ask what kinda leds are you running on your tank ?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 12 years ago

check out long pulse mode on the mp60's to setup a gyre flow! You'd get more water velocity through the tank. And...your tank looks great. Very creative aquascaping
