That sounds super interesting! Not sure I've seen anything like that? I'm interested! Do you live in New Hampshire or in Hampshire?Man this is precisely what i am planning for a few years time, we gonna remodel the house and i'm planning on a 4 sided lagoon style tank, bit like a kitchen island as a room divider. I've yet to bring this up with the other half though..
Sorry should have said that i loved the build thread and your back story almost as much as i enjoyed the final build.
WOW I can see your inspiration! They are doing it right down there huh?
Hope it turns out awesome. That would be a sweet build!I've been keeping a 50 gallon Oceanic Reef tank since 2004. I have always wanted a bigger tank and expected that "someday" I would get my wish. However, life gets in the way though! Kids, pets, house renovations, running a small business, and not knowing if we'd stay in this house permanantly, were all factors that delayed and put off my "Dream Build". I did have success and tons of enjoyment with my 50 gallon tank, even with no sump and all hang-on equipment. It was very stable considering I had zero technology, and it did well and I really enjoyed it for many years. The problem was... I got bored with the limited size, always wanted the ability to keep more/bigger fish (Tangs) and more of corals that I love (SPS). After a many years of life taking priority, as well as losing some interest in the tank, it started to show. Corals slowly died off, and Mojano's took over the tank. This past year, the salt creep was really starting to build up on the bottom trim of the tank, and the wood inside the stand was expanding and bowing. It was leaking slowly and it was only a matter of time before the stand failed and the tank would crash to the ground. I'd either have to take the tank down and get out of the hobby, or finally pull the trigger and go big with my dream build. After a visit to an old friend and fellow reefer's house and seeing his beautiful system, the inspiration hit me. I'm going for it! More to come soon...
Tank is doing great! I want to continue this build thread as I have much more to add to it. Spring, Summer, Fall is my busy season for work. Winter is slow unless it's snowing. So I will get back into this thread for sure! Thanks for asking though! Tank is doing great, been battling Green Hair Algae for a year, but I have it almost beat. Lots of frags growing. Got 6 Tangs in my Tang Gang all getting along great! I got way better pics, but this is what I can post real quick for an update...
Looking good! I’ll patiently wait for the long update. How are you liking the GC tank?
Check out the thread Rad... It's built!
HAHA "patiently" I love it! Sorry.... So far so good on the Glass Cages tank! I have nothing to complain about and it's beautiful.
