Long time channel supporter, and UK reefing icon, Lee Hammond, has kindly offered to share his reefing journey with us right here on Parker's Reef.
Sporting three incredible reef tanks all connected to one mamoth basement/cellar filtration room, there is lots to take in on this incredible setup.
Be sure to follow further progress of Lee's ever developing reefs at his KZfaq:

Lee I am now officially your biggest fan living in Salzburg, Austria. Hey what a great guy, so mellow and friendly, what an amazing character and what about those amazing eco systems. I can only say I watched with my mouth open wide, I was simply flabbergasted from what I was watching and my jaw simply dropped when he opened that cabinet full of goodies. Thank you for showing us Lee's tanks and setups. I do however hope that Lee teaches you how to pronounce Yorkshire 🤣

hahaha sorry mate, us Aussies are not overly cultured in other languages and accents. I guess it is a side effect of living so far away from the rest of the world :D

What an absolutely amazing system. I wish my tank was even a third of the quality of that!!!!!

And as others have said cannot wait to see the the level of the 9ft tank if/when it gets built

Everything about this was impressive, the fact the two people are half way round the world from each other yet managed to make amazing content. The tanks and Lee's dedication to the build and up keep is phenomenal, great to see some amazing large tanks with proper fish stocking based in the UK. Fingers crossed you get to set up that 9ft tank Lee. Hat off to Parkers Reef again for such great content.
