Very impressive and very nice tank. I noticed you don't have access in the front of the tank, as well very limited head room in the back on top of the tank. How difficult is it to clean the panels, especially the front display?
Thanks.. I think the worst part of the limited head space in the back of the tank is coral and rock placement. For this I rely on my wife to tell me if things are looking good (which in some cases may not be so helpful). Also troublesome to feed fish at times, specially for my wife thats 5' and has to climb a ladder to reach the top of the tank.

I dont really have any new pictures, but tank is doing well.. finally got an apex last month and still havent finished setting it up. I need to order the conductivity module and probe and also want to set up lighting and lunar cycles with it. Also, planning on upgrading my lighting to either t5/led hybrid or Led 100%. The 3- 400MH's are wasting electricity and I lost all my SPS (even my caps and birdsnests) so once I upgrade I'll get back to restocking.

hey i dont know much about huge custom setups like yours but i was watching that show Tanked and they had a huge tank and the wife had to get a ladder every day to feed the fish and the guys that own that fish tank co. installed a feeder system inline with the return pump...u might wanna check it out..or research it online it was pretty sweet...it had a few diff ball valves and a pvc T with a screw on lid...so the one ball valve would be off then u unscrew the lid add ur fish food, screw the lid back down and open both ball valves and the fish food went thru the system...it was pretty basic and from what u did on ur build it would prolly be pretty easy for u...and ur setup is AWESOME i think when i have enough money i will have one built just like this...the way u have ur water change setup is soo sick...but i bet that water change every week will start adding up $$$ lol

...idk if that explanation sounded retarded...but go online or record Tanked if u have a DVR and u will see what im talkin about lol
I did get to see that episode.. lol but it seemed like a lot of work and a little strange to feed fish.. now an automatic fish feeder for frozen foods would really be nice - maybe something that drops x amount of cubes into a section to thaw for a designated amount of time than pours that into the tank.. Or how about some kind of a dosing pump that can feed thawed mysis from a fridge..?

What caused you to lose all your sps? Was it heat or something else? I found I was having a problem keeping the ALK up even with dosing daily. Bought a Hanna ALK checker and slowly raising it back up.

idk that show makes everything look super difficult...but ya those ideas u said sound pretty awesome too...with the way u have ur WC system setup i wouldnt be surprised to see a mini fridge next to ur tank with a dosing pump hooked up feeding ur fish auto! hahahaha that would be sick
