Wow. Here is a write up on the tank:
http://www.ultimatereef.com/TOTM/2007_jan/

Quote from article "A 700 gallon water change is made every four weeks which is approximately 20% of the total system volume and it takes 4-5 days to perform this change."

That's truly extraordinary! Thanks for sharing it. I can't even imagine having a tank so vast that I wouldn't mind watching the angelfish munching on corals.

Joe's tank looks just like that..

 

[roscoe]

Yeah that is an amazing tank. It has been a couple years. I wonder how it looks like now.

 

[lizardarm]

I read the write up, and didn't catch the age or build time of the system. I may have missed it though.

I saw that tank a couple years ago so it might be older than that.

very nice. thanx for the link.

I see a black and yellow tang in there. Are these present in the hobby or world, or has this guy managed to cross breed a yellow and a black tang in captivity?

The tank Params are at the bottom of the Article. It says the tank is 3 years old.

It was 3 years old in 07 so that makes it nearly 6 years old now.

I would love to have that tank but I really dont think the apartments that I live in would go for it.

Of course you can. I'm sure you can hide it from sight :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:.

Tank Volume: 1,200 gallons
System Volume: 3,700 gallons

Pretty insane, his lighting is mild compared to what i had imagined.

 

[Sea]

The black and yellow tang is just a deformed yellow tang.

 

[Workaholic]

The black and yellow tang is just a deformed yellow tang.

Actually if you read the article its a tricolor tang.

As for the lighting, 12 400w halides and 16 54w t5's sounds like allot of light to me

Just cover it when they do there inspection. But I think the real give away would the power meter would break because of all the juice going through it.
