Z28, there is quite a few HUGE tangs in that setup!
Hmm.... I think I need to go there and pick up some new frags this week.

:notsure: strange, I don't recall the paintings above it either.
007 Try-sog, Have either of you been to Fishbones in Greektown lately? One of the guys at the above store mentioned they installed a huge reef tank there, spending about 35grand on it, this past fall.

That is a sweet tank! Do they sell any corals out of the tank, or is it strictly display? Any info on filtration?

Not even to any of their "best" customers? I am just curious because that seems like an awful lot of money for a store to spend on a display... Although I am assuming they want to encourage customers to start reef tanks because of it.
Do you know what kind of filtration? Is it purely a refugium or is there biological as well?

They are a bit pricey but to tell you the truth you're not going to find healthier fish or corals in the area. I would just stay away from dry goods because they are way over priced on that stuff.

Yeah, there isn't a painting over that tank. hmmmm and the more I look at that picture the more it looks stripped down from what it is today. I was just there recently and their is schools of purple, hippos(well like 3) and yellow tangs now. Also there is a huge Valmingii(sp?)tang and a unicorn that would be easily visable in that picture. It must be really old or maybe setup at the owners house at one time?
No, I haven't been to fishbone in about 3 yrs. Is it up and running? 35Gs? damn!

I am "almost positive" that the tank is 8' long, 4' deep, and 30" tall. I've never seen the filtration underneath. Never asked if they would sell any corals from it. I'm sure they would to some of their clients though. As they maintain saltwater aquariums for quite a few celebrities in the area.
The store is Aquatic Discoveries. Its located in a shopping center at the corner of 15 mile rd. and Ryan. Northwest corner.

I hope its up and running if they've spent that much money on it! I keep meaning to head down there, never end up though.

Thats probally true. I'd almost consider them as healthy as what you can find from Preuss, but not with the "Preuss" price tag. Should be going to this place more often, just moved down hall road from it.
