There's a lot of stuff back there! I like how PVC goes right into the acrylic, but what if the power goes out? And what are the highlights of the equipment and plumbing?

The back of the tank reminds me of a hospital operating room. Is the owner a doctor? Lesley

hehehe all that high-tech stuff, and then he's still got a 5-gallon jug hooked up to it all in the lower right corner! Wish I had money for a setup like that. Well, I'd want a house of my own first. It'd be kinda really pointless to set that up in an appartment!

great setup.
If it were me, I'd put a background on the back of the tank, or paint the back blue. not a fan of the see thru tanks

After looking at the picture I think that is part of a closed loop he has setup.
That lighting system is off the hook crazy check out the pulley system.. I love the way he hooked duct work to the inside of the canopy. That is almost the perfect home setup and it looks like alot of planning went into that project . What do you think he is using the trash can in the lower left corner for ?
Thanks for the pic Jugger......

I think the tank would be a lot better for that kind of setup- it is pretty plain - cool though

I agree j21kickster, all that money for a tank that could have been run perfectly with a few powerheads and a skimmer??? It was mentioned it may have just been setup, but if it were me.....I would have faced the gear out, and the tank behind the wall......the tank isn't as impressive as the equipment....sorry, but it's true.

LOL probably no more money left to buy nice things for the tank
One fully self sufficient Salt water fish tank...8,000 dollars.
Live stock and decorations....still workin on that.
Satisfaction of knowing you dont have to do anything and you spent all that money....priceless

I agree also but I was thinking the same thing as derrikd about being able to see what your doing. It's probabley a pain in the keyster to run back n forth between rooms when you actually have the tank in one room and the display window in another.
Awesome set up either way
