Awesome! I may have to do this, I had been thinking about it but had never pushed past it being a thought.

Actually we have been talking about the system on another forum and ther might be a slight change in the future to it. Matt Wandell (Steinhart Aquarium) recommended putting a 1/2" venturi valve in replacement of the tee's. The dosing pump lines would feed into the venturi's air line port.

This way if the lines of the dosing pump failed, the water from the aquarium would not empty out into the refrigerator and the floor. The line would then only suck air.

Very cool unique tank. I love the frozen food feeder. EXCELLENT idea. Never seen anything like that before. Well done.

That is awesome. I've been interested in nonphotosynths for a while. This is a new role model tank for me.

Thank you all for the continued positive comments on my system.

Such an amazing tank! Congrats on TOTM. I really like tanks that go out of the norm, and you have done an amazing job with this tank.

Been searching for this beauty for a while and she is here! Holanthias fuscipennis.

Time to thank the people who made this happen...

Rufus Kimura for catching this beautiful anthias at 375 ft off of Oahu

Randy Donowitz from Manhattan Reefs who remembered I was looking for the longest for this fish and got the deal rolling

and

Dominick Cirigliano of Diamonds of the Reef who hooked me up and got the fish in for me. Dude you rock!

If you guys are looking for high quality fish you should hit him up.
