    That's just crazy. I'm currently entertaining the thought of what my "nice display/show" tank will look like (the one I'm getting to celebrate finishing my PhD)... never even thought of something like that. It's a bit narrow, but I _love_ the concept.

    Pretty nice I like the shape to it. But this is going to be a project for sure. Keep us posted.

    Really Interesting tank! Can't wait to watch this build. Just trying to figure out how to display it is a feat all on its own! This should be a great build, for sure!

    yeah i am very escited, so many options!! im thinking im definitely going to have to buy my own stand. also i was thinking like what snooknred said, to do several different enviornments in one tank, i was thinking the one side would be full of live rock and coral, then i would ease into the other side with less and less rock and have sort of minimalist scaping with a few rocks just scattered on the sand bed with corals on them. im definitely going to have to sell quite a few seahorse tanks before i get this up and running but when i do its gonna be great!
    i am really looking into just lighting it with a bunch of panorama pro modules. seems like the most economical option really.
    i dont think a tank like this is even capable of looking lame so i think im gonna do pretty good.
