3reef Your Favorite Aquarium Contest

Whale sharks need 4 million gallons or more according to LA. But you could do a couple bottle nose dolphins. I'm putting 3 bottle noses, 5 blue tangs and a small bull shark in my biocube 29 reef.

 

ROFLingMAO!

 

I like the DIY aspect too brunoboarder and the natural sunlight.
If the frags were not in there it would really be aesthetically pleasing to me in that last shot. Cool tank.

Man there are so many great ones here.. I am going to be browsing this one for long time. Great job all!

lol it took me about 6 hours straight to get through it but its a really cool build i highly recommend reading up...i actually found this on accident when i was looking up sources to prove 6500k(normal day light) will grow sps faster but maybe the colors wouldnt be as nice and someone told me i was wrong and vuala i ran into this

 

I have always thought Steve's tank was one of the best of all time! It is so sad it came to an abrupt end.

And you took one of my other favorites! Dangit!!!
Thankfully, I still have one play to make.

 

I have been following this tank for along time. I guess it's my favorite because I love the sps.

Just one of many tanks I am in awe of.

 

That's ALOT of sps.

 

Here's is mine. Its someones tank here on 3reef.

 

This has always been one of my favorites. It was what convinced me to move to an SPS tank.
