it look like a dream system, would be a real shame if not set up.

The tank was set up at least. Thread below on r2r. It's been 2020 since an update though.

I can't help but to be underwhelmed by this tank. It's lots of money, but lacking imagination. Equipment is a means to an end. The focus is what's displayed inside the tank and the equipment is there to help you achieve the aesthetic, health, and ease of maintenance of what's in the tank. Even the floating scape doesn't seem as well executed as this one:

Maybe it looks better now after it's grown in.

I don’t think that’s the tank. It’s 600g. This is a much smaller tank.

The YouTube video is a different tank. That was just for reference for a point I was making. The link on reef2reef is the same 600 gallon tank in this thread. The first posts here and there even have several of the same pictures like the sump, crates, and carbon fiber tubing.

Step 1: Retire and free up your whole day
Step 2: Set up monster dream tank for take up the whole day

His sequence was out of order. 😂

I hope it’s up and filled with corals/fish. Then I want a tank tour to check it out.

Would definitely love to see an update. It’s been 2 years since something was posted on r2r
