nice! but, your gonna kick yourself for not having access from the front of the tank. corla placement and glass cleaning are tuff without it. I've known a few ''inwall' ownders that have had to add access after

[Hendersonracing]

You have set up a very beautiful and technically sound reef aquarium. I am thinking of trying this and I was wondering what the rough cost was to set up the 400 gallon aquarium with all supporting equipment but not counting construction work. Rough order of magnitude would be fine. I want to appreciate the financial commitment to such an enterprise.

Thanks,
John

[BIG-G]

Thanks for posting the pics. I love your setup. I like the look of all those little clowns schooling. Makes me wish i had more space for another tank.

[Hendersonracing]

Thanks everyone....I really have no Idea what It would cost Im kinda afraid to try to figure it out! The main thing I can tell you is get the best equipement upfront. I tried getting cheaper stuff first and then sold all of it to get the good stuff!

[Hendersonracing]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
