Building a similar tank. What kind of crabs do you have that are climbing out of the water?

It's a shame that this tank never got a TOTM. So unique.

I don't have the time or money to replicate this amazing tank, but I made a mini version for my desktop which keeps my workspace very interesting.

Ah, glad this popped back up. Been wanting to see any updates, but I guess he unsubscribed or got busy. I know it's weird getting replies to old posts; I still get replies to 2007 blue ribbon eel vids.

hey santa monica-any chance of answering the questions posed to you in the water change thread? or are you still ignoring all who tell you you're clueless regarding algae scrubbing in the hopes they'll go away so you won't have to show all just how ignorant you are on the subject of the devices you're selling ?

It seems like I read a while back on YouTube that he no longer has this tank. He had to tear it down or something.

His above water "pool" concept I still think is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in aquascaping.

I first saw this tank on the pages of practical fish keeping a few years back, very cool concept.

Hey there everyone! Didn't follow up on this for quite sometime. My apologies.
The Volcano Tank had been taken down due to a number of reasons, but I have rectified the situation and look to be setting up it's successor shortly. I have a marvelous idea that I am excited to try and implement. It will be the Volcano Tank on steroids! I am excited. I am planning for a 2015 build, and I will detail it from concept to water fill. I want to extend my greatest thanks to everyone that has said their opinion regarding my endeavor. We are in a very opinionated industry and folks generally are wonderful and complementary, though some can be harsh. I feel fortunate not to have gained very much negative criticism over this project and I am thankful. My background has taught me that these are incredibly sensitive and worthy little creatures, and they have been removed from their natural habitats, and for that, I try to make the absolute best environment possible. It just so happens to be a great deal of fun in the making! To reiterate for those folks concerned over the tangs; they were removed after just a few months and they are (still) very happy in their 150+ gallon tanks respectfully. It was a temporary hold from the beginning, but the water quality of the Volcano Tank was so far superior to their prior tank that the lack of water column space was the better trade off. Again, everyone has been great, and I am deeply moved by the responses and comments that have been made! It was a great 3+ years of Volcano Tank keeping but I am itching to get back in after a 2 year hiatus. My intent is to have an extremely advanced set up this next round. Aggressive and modern lighting, live camera feeds, automation of more than just the water changes, etc. I bet you guys will love it! 2015 should be fun! Thanks again to all!
