Peter and Shawn,
fantastic job on the first video. Great work! Any idea when a fellow mast member could come visit you guys? Or is there a future mast event coming up there any time soon. Cheers Rob |

Peter, I have following along for quite a while and I am truly inspired by what you and Shawn have created. Not only have you given us something incredible to look at, the information/education you have provided has been very helpful for not only myself but the rest of us who have followed along.
Well done! P.S. I watched the video in HD and it played flawlessly.

I've just watched the video, very nice! I especially liked the way the red starfish was pictured at the end.
I am already looking forward to watching the next episode. |

My goodness...I am honestly speechless. I'm a scuba diver and have never and probably will never see anything as beautiful as your tank Peter. Congrats Peter and Shawn, you have created a masterpiece!

I thoroughly enjoyed that! I was a little sad to discover it wasn't feature-film length =) You guys are going to have to do some major pruning to keep that 3 foot raceway open for the fishes! Incredible!

I first stumbled upon your build about a year ago. What you have done in a year's time is phenomenal. In the top 3 tanks here on RC. I loved the video and hope to see many more of those. Even the photography has gotten more impressive in that time. I was curious as to how you and Mr. Wilson first got hooked up and when that happened. Judging from the video, when you were redoing the basement you didn't even know you were going to have a reef tank. Incredible job Peter.

You are right, in this hobby we are always short of space. This tank should have been 4 ft deep but the advice I got from Mr. Wilson's predecessor was very poor in that regard. I would love to do a new tank from scratch with Mr. Wilson, it would be world class but ..........this one will keep me busy for quite a bit longer. Peter

Peter and team nineball excellent job with the episode. You're continued drive and work ethic have been an inspiration to me. I had pulled the plug on my own build after MACNA2011 for a few reasons one being I couldn't make the commitment I thought was needed for success. But after catching up this week and seeing the enjoyment you have from this hobby; I've been sucked back in.
Here's to your continued success. Thanks for sharing your experience, I look forward to future updates and episodes. -Eddie |

peter simply stunning, i think you should rename your team. "mother nature" i know you are too modest to admit it but i spend 4 to 5hrs a day on reef forums, and have yet to see a tank better or more successful. maybe chingchai is close, but you are still my favorite.

Peter,
Ret Talbot spoke here at our fish club meeting last night. As we were chatting before his talk, he mentioned that he had come from an engagement in Toronto. He then went on to say that while he was there, he had the opportunity to visit the most spectacular tank that he had ever seen. When I asked if it was yours, he replied with a resounding and enthusiastic YES! You and your team certainly made a huge impression with him (and the rest of us who have to settle for a far too infrequent video )
