If they keep growing like that, it will be time for an upgrade soon!

LOL, I think I’ll need a few more years of growing out this bad boy before I’m ready to build the next one!!

Start saving and planning now! It's coming sooner than you think! I'd love to see the look on your face the day you realise you DO have to upgrade from this!

..And it won't be an upgrade unless you 4x it at least, right? 20k gallons?? The people want MOAR WATER

Seriously though this tank is ridiculous. Love it.

Wow, it's really turning into a reef! That pump is amazing!

Nice idea for feeding ring

Full lights Saturday afternoon!

Nice idea for feeding ring

You got it!

That new Pant Rhei ECM 75 just tumbles all the pellets over to the overflow in a hurry. Gyre flow is amazing, best I’ve had, but it sends everything over the falls!! Hope this helps keep them in play longer!

Looks like the pillow they give you for hemorrhoids

Humans are funny, aren't they!?!! If roids are on your behind, you'll do anything to be rid of them, but put them on a bounce mushroom and people pay thousands for them!

Few hallway view coral pictures…

Works great!

Flow is still amazing and pulls the pellets quickly under the water and away from the ring!

HAHAHA I thought that was a food processor up there! I was like holy cow what kind of frozen feeder device is this?

Then I realized it's an auto feeder that's bigger than my blender...

It’s a “Superfeeder” they make auto Koi feeders and a small one for aquariums… LOL

ECM 75 on pause, top down, feeding of 12 diced up Costco shrimp… Enjoy!

I feed 5 sheets of nori in the morning (on the feeding pipe), the mixed pellet auto feeder dumps twice a day then I feed 12 large diced up shrimp in the evening…

These are the biggest eaters:

And all these guys too! LOL!

That feeding ring looks a little too much like a toilet seat! Don't give your guests too much to drink!
