I dont mean to beg/bother/annoy you but have you thought about the pair of clowns at all?
I can save a couple of Clownfish for you if you really want them that badly. If you willing to drive all that way and be forced to sit in my new bar & drink beer then you are deserving of a pair of the best looking Occelaris being bred.
E-mail me at guynwarsaw@yahoo.com for an address if you're serious about driving out.

I'll tell you. Having a big container in a small basement with a low ceiling make it's very very difficuly to photograph. It's so much better in person. I have a shelf all the way around the lagoon to set your elbows & beer on while viewing. I didn't design it for pictures.
For costs, There's about 2000 watts of light, about 500 watts of waterflow, and 1400 watts of heater. Whatever that add's up to.
The view is priceless and I have lots of space for easy to grow frags to offset the cost.

haha... I'd be willing to drive that far, its worth it to get a good pair. I cant complain about SWF or any other place for that matter, but getting them directly from a breeder is a good bet in my mind.
As for sitting at your bar, sounds like a plan to me.... But you wouldnt serve alcohol to a minor would you....

BangGuy, how deep is the lagoon? It really is a marvell to imagine something like your setup. I'm sure the upkeep not for your common saltwater hobbiest, kudos on following your dream.

It's only 2 feet deep. Any deeper and I'd have to rethink the side support. I've found it to be the perfect depth for what I wanted.

Wow!! That is impressive. I was thinking 1.5 at the most, 2 is standard aquarium depth. I'm guessing you use the larger outdoor pond equipment, but how high are the lights above the water surface?

Do you have glaring problem when looking at the surface of the lagoon?

Where did you set up such a large lagoon, if you don't mind me asking? It's awsome. I am certainly considering doing one myself. Any tips that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
