gregb · 02/05/2006, 08:48 PM

I wonder how much it cost? I like the cerved look.

FibberMcGee · 02/05/2006, 08:56 PM

Pieter,

Congratulations! Simply the best tank out there, with no knocks on any of the other great tanks we have seen. This display must be breathtaking in person, as it is in pictures.

thereefmaster · 02/05/2006, 09:10 PM

Absolutely beautiful. I am speechless.

I've seen some great tanks... But this one really looks fantastic... Not just the tank, but rather the entire presentation! Great Job!

It takes my breath away, the best inverted bow i have ever had the pleasure to lay my eye's on.

Claeth · 02/05/2006, 09:43 PM

This tank is what every reefkeeper in the world has been looking for since starting the hobby. Congratulations Pieter, you've done it. Truly a living work of art to be admired,hopefully for many generations to enjoy. Best of luck! Lee Van Hoose

This is a candidate for tank of the millenia!! I'd like to see some pics of the construction of the rock piles with the pvc --I'd like to try that idea out.

ang_99 · 02/05/2006, 09:49 PM

HOOOOOOLY SH$T....is the first thing that came out of my mouth. That tank is insane!!!! If I ever hit the lottery.........

Fezzik · 02/05/2006, 09:51 PM

Wow this tank is amazing. Breath-taking. I would like to know more about it, such as more pics of construction, and cost ect.

thedigitalimager · 02/05/2006, 09:55 PM

Congratulations on what is surely one of the most incredible tanks I've ever seen.

Steffish · 02/05/2006, 10:04 PM

unreal!

dc · 02/05/2006, 10:10 PM

Wow! I'm speachless! I don't think I can possibly say anything that hasn't been said in all the previous posts. Amazing.

royy · 02/05/2006, 10:12 PM

I am going to play the lottery tomorrow so I can build one just like it.

Very Nice.

Corn · 02/05/2006, 10:12 PM

WOW !!!!!

SERVO · 02/05/2006, 10:32 PM

This is tank of the Century. Truly one of the most incredible constructed ecosystems around. The colossal nature of putting this together is absolutely amazing. If I owned a fortune 500 company, maybe, maybe I could have something 1/2 this incredible! I would love to see this in person!

cutsupremetrib · 02/05/2006, 10:33 PM

This is getting scary, the overseas tanks are starting to put us Americans to shame.

They have put us to shame since this hobby started. Our tanks (as a whole) have never been as nice as the European tanks, it's not even close. Where do you think we get all our technology from?

Droevig voor mijn taal, als u de tijd aan biuld kunt vergen dat tank ik de tijd kan vergen om een antwoord in uw taal te proberen en te schrijven.

Uw tank is het beste, I en vele anderen hebben gezien. Zeer indrukwekkend. Ik hoop u ook bijgewerkt houdt iedereen op deze tank zult verdergaan aangezien het ongelooflijk is. Houd omhoog het goede werk.

Oprecht,
Mark

tkeracer619 · 02/05/2006, 10:56 PM

and one in english. Hope the Dutch version is right

Sorry for my language, if you can take the time to biuld that tank I can take the time to try and write a reply in your language.

Your tank is the best, I and many others have seen. Very impressive. I hope you will continue too keep everybody updated on this tank as it is incredible. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,
Mark

RevHtree · 02/05/2006, 11:09 PM

speechless....

Morgandy · 02/05/2006, 11:14 PM

Tanu, if you are answering questions for Pieter, can you let me know what kind of show-room/business this is in? I think it is not a home aquarium, right? I am becoming more and more interested in Zeo (PLEASE all, DON't start on the flaming), and this tank pushes its use up another notch for me. Has he done zeovit systems before?

Nice tax write-off I'm sure!!!

And Tanu, I have to go check out latest tank pics of yours, it is still one of the most stunning ever.

Pieter, if you are reading, hats off for a divine creation you have shared!

IsThisNameTaken? · 02/05/2006, 11:23 PM

TANK OF THE YEAR!!!!!

exoticaquatix · 02/05/2006, 11:58 PM

so many words came to mind when i saw this tank and yet im still left speechless. its tanks like this that keep so many reefers on a constant quest for their own "dream tank". congrats Pieter!!

im thinking we should start a Reefcentral lotto pool so that some of us can have a one-in-a-billion shot at a tank like this.

im not even sure money is the main limiting factor in a system like this. my imagination could never have produced that tank or anything close!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!
