Here is a picture from 5 months ago. It has grown a few inches since then

Of course, the meeting I want to go to the most and I'll be out of town working. Hmm, maybe I can figure out a way to get home for the day...but I doubt it.

Kevin, your tank is amazing!! I hope to see it in person one day.

It's hard to believe there is 725 pounds of liverock in there somewhere I used to have 825 but I removed some as the corals grew.

Cheers,
Kevin

awesome, any chance you hada video of it for out of towners!

 

[MtnDewMan]

I need to make it out there sometime soon

725 pounds??? WOW!! Have you ever actually estimated to total weight of the tank? I'm sure you did while in the construction phase. Just curious what you came up with.

 

[kevinpo]

The setup weighs in at about 5,800 pounds give or take a couple hundred
I estemate there is more than 300 pounds of live coral in the tank. About 5 lbs a month of calcium is added by dosing along with 6 pounds of buffer

Regards,
Kevin
PS: Snacks and drinks will be provided.

wow!!!! how big is the tank Kevin????

 

[theJ]

5 lbs/month oh my. Casey and I will be there for sure!

 

[kevinpo]

It is 96" long by 33.5" tall by 44" wide. The rock is placed in the center of the tank creating an island. There is another reef on the back similar to one you see from the front.

Kevin

Its definitely a must see! That picture is nothing, no offense Kevin. That is a piece of art. Pictures do not do it justice.
