In wall 400 gal. wooden reef tank from Peter

DeKoraalschuur · 02/06/2012, 02:30 PM

Hello, my name is Peter from the Netherlands. I want to share some photo's of my 400 gallon reef tank.
It's a tank made of wood and build it by myself.

Peter.

This is incredibly beautiful, Peter. Could you tell us a bit more about the aquarium, such as the dimensions, the construction materials and techniques, the filtration, etc. ? Also, some larger images of such a fine tank would be very worthwhile.

Thx,

Dave.M
