That is an incredible setup. I'm just getting into the hobby. I have a 130 gl. I sit and watch my fish swim, and my wife records me just sitting by the tank lol.

What a stunning reef tank ☀️🌴 may your dad’s spirit watch over the tank every single day 💪🏻 love the mixed reef

Beutiful Reef! I’m really surprised the growth he’s getting with only 3 Hydra 👍. That’s great that his Dad was able to build him such a great gift before he left.

What a heartwarming background on this tank and stand. So beautiful!💙🐟

Deven, the tank is beautiful. Very clean set up. Excellent rock scape where he’s got plenty of room for Corals and swim Throughs for the fish. That stand his father built his rock solid. Very heart felt. Thanks for the tour

Such a meaningful tank.

Absolutely beautiful tank and especially nice to see one that came together with so many close helping hands. Good to hear him and his wife are enjoying it equally

Honestly one of my favorite tank I have ever seen very unique feel to it

Ok this tank is absolute goals. Stunning. Basically a piece of art

nice tank; special the light fixturer never seen that before ,gave me some inspiration

Basically summed-up: reef & saltwater is not for those on a strict budget. I remember as a kid, my dad bought me a hundred-gallon. Working-on a farm, I used the money every weekend going to various pet stores(even purchased some anemones 400 miles away during a Summer trip), and collecting for the reef tank. Used a diatom filter a couple-times a week & a undergravel filter(anyone know today what those are?). Could purchase live coral, anemones, shrimp, fish, all under twenty dollars. Today, setting-up such an aquarium, and yearly maintenance, would be more than my mortgage payments. A cheap, educational hobby, is now for the wealthy only.

Beautiful Zoanthus

Really nice tank and built. Similar size to mine, hope I’ll get to something like this in time. (Mine is new.) I live in an apartment but I really can see the benefits of living in a house giving space for gear-cupboards in another room and a water-changing-area in the garage. Great and well tought through. Totally agree, getting your significant other interested is a game changer…

Easily the best reef/tank I've ever seen. It's my favorite and will be an inspiration when I redo my rock work in my 25 Lagoon. You really nailed it! Thank you for featuring it! If love to see more tank visits Especially the rock work

Beautiful

I took my 170 gallon down 5 months ago because I was chasing impossible problems ever since the 8 tube lamp fell in. I was going to sell it but not at 5 cents on the dollar so here we go again. Now that I have all of the patience and time, I also realized that I have really become out of shape. Diving under the cabinet is not an easy task anymore. I polished up the stainless steel stand, changed all the hinges, everything is cleaned and ready to install and the sump partitions are drying as I type. Bulkheads are in and plumbing comes today. Unfortunately, my Sherpa is not here today.

Love ur story about your father building the stand something u could look at and always feel him with you

Very cool and organized setup. I love his attachment to the corals and fish. 👍

amazing looking build what a fantastic memory to look at every day. Love it :)

I like this tank more than others that are just stacked to the gills with coral. This one has a bit more open space which is nice.

Love the set up, I really like the guide on the side of the brute for the water level

Your father honored you you with an awesome memory, the reef is vefry nice.

Very well planned and clean tank!

Great setup! Stunning reef!

Thanks you so much sharing fantastic video and beautiful tank.. I have 120 gallon tank just updated last year... Still working on all my corals is still having trouble colors and growing...Thanks again sir....

Wow who knew three hydra 26 can cover that size tank and look really good.

Beautiful tank. the stand and the light fixture looks amazing and really makes this look like a piece of furniture that belongs in that spot. As a water box guy myself this makes me want to go custom for the next one

Very nice tank bro. Love the open aquascape! How long has it been running?

Great tank. 😁👍

Beautiful mixed reef, everything looks well out together. What program is he running for his hydras, it looks like a fun shimmer very similar to the ocean. Great build!

@reefdudes so did he remove the fish during the ich outbreak to eradicate or does he just control it now with the uv?

Beautiful! Looking at the cabinet alone is satisfying. Very clean even in the sump. Can you please tell me how he attached the uv to the cabinet. Thank you.

I don’t know if I’ve see a more beautiful setup! Thanks for sharing. Does Savy have an Insta to follow?

👍 👍 👍

Do you have to replace roller mat or can it be washed?

The camera is moving around way too much.
