Hey everyone...I just emailed Steve the other day and he mentioned he was updating his web site in the near future...keep your eyes peeled for the latest on one of the best tanks in the world.

How about David Saxby's monster??

While it is probably the largest in size, there are others out there that have been up and running longer....which obviously gives the corals time to grow. Give the Zilla a few years and it will be looking great

I know there is a site with much more info. on his tank, but can't remember what site. He has been featured on Zeovits web-site, that is where I first saw his set-up. It is in home, but apparently the entire system is sponsored by Deltec or some other euro aquarium company (That has to make the pocket book happy!!!)
