No, but I am seriously considering tying in a sister tank that will house peaceful inhabitants and focus on algaes. I would love to have a show-tank size and have long coastal algaes with a couple angel fish, or maybe seahorses or something.

So, the camera angle is a bit odd on that one shot (I wanted to capture the surface) but i n reality, the zoas are moving through sand....just anchored on a rock underneath.

Thanks for sharing!

Excellent tank! I love it! what a novel idea - TOTM

Very very cool. It's nice to see something different. I'm sure this has been said before, but it reminds me of my 6th grade science fair project, minus the baking soda and vinegar.

drewfish · 06/11/2010, 12:01 PM

My fav tank so far. Love the design and stock list. Reminds me of the Piton in St. Lucia.

Nice work Kyle...very inspirational and visionary...perhaps a trend in the making...I'll be tagging along, my next tank will be a shallow for sure.

Amazing! How long did it take you to establish this tank?

Tank actually took real quickly. The waterfall helped a ton. Livestock was in about a 1 month in, and the tank is 10 months old right now.

Love the tank. Just saw this thread and really a unique tank that looks amazing. Guess you only need some smoke coming out the top

modifyd · 06/20/2010, 08:06 PM

I love this aquarium!

PelagicMagic · 06/20/2010, 08:28 PM

rioshilo · 08/20/2010, 07:31 PM

Tank is still looking good. I was just thinking about how nice it must be to work in the tank when you dont have a canopy or a tall tank

WendyH · 08/27/2010, 01:10 PM

So Unique!! I love it!! Love all your ideas!
