Wow, blast from the past.  Hey Mark!  If someone builds it are you going to dedicate an episode to its history?

You never know what I'm up to....

What a shame. Now is the perfect time to be working on this build! 

HOWDY!

And here I thought Mark was coming back to say we set up 440g Drop Off Tank.....

Look James, my current tank has been up for 1.5yrs. That's a record for me in the past 5 years! Back off! :-p

Oh how I miss you. Even though my Fuzzy Dwarf Lion jumped out of your sump. I'm old and driving... and married.  When are you coming to visit Austin?!

MARRIED?! Did your parents approve that? Did you check your spouse for AEFW? 

Why hasn't the emoticon pack been updated since I've been gone? 

And who is this guy hijacking this thread?

The Vivid Aquariums 800g incorporated PVC and an acrylic shelf to create a similar effect. It looks pretty good, but would only work if you had an acrylic aquarium. 

And acrylic tanks are the worst. 

Happy New Years! Can't wait for the resolution to be made to get this thing finished.

Like most New Year's resolutions, this one has already been forgotten.

Holy wow. I just went through this build thread for the first time and it is first class all the way. Really beautiful execution on the original design.

It's always fun to look back at day 1 and see how far builds have come. It seemed forever ago that the system was started.

I, for one, am still holding out for a spectacular update one day. I just know OP is going to pop in one day and show off fully grown in colonies of the utmost, ultra LE SPS, LPS, Zoas along with clarion angels, bandit angels, and all manner of other rarities each selected to go with the appropriate level in the tank.

I bet this looks good with all the corals grown out

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the masked coral bandit, RichardL, fragged everything down while everyone wasn't looking. Watch for a massive frag sale soon.

Yeah! Callahan's not even in the saltwater hobby anymore! He turned to flying fish husbandry didn't he?

Trolls never die....

You know, it's been a while...

pizza hut. taco bell. combination pizza hut and taco bell.

Clearly you're out of the loop. Everyone has been off working on the tank!

Pizza. Hut. Taco. Bell.

I don't see you...

Is this tank ready for tomorrow's meeting?

I don't think it's ready to come out of the closet yet.

I heard the tank was funded with Bitcoin...

Bump.

Why don't you use your Sketchup skills and make a rendering of what the tank SHOULD look like given it's age and mixed reef stocking...

Here's my best guess based on all available information. I probably should have bumped up the amount of coralline on the glass.

That's some funny stuff right there! HAHA!

so who ended up with the tank? her? or him? was it sold?

It was never set up b/c him and the beotch split before it was made.

So who wants to pick up the reins and actually build the tank? Can anyone contact her and see if maybe she has a new boyfriend?

I hereby nominate mFrame to start this build immediately! I'll throw in a free dinner from the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

The really funny part about all this is that the guy who started this thread, his profile pic is of him looking lovingly into the eyes of a girl (most likely his fiancee), yet she is the reason the tank is dead!

well, while the tank may not be, this thread should never die and continue to pay homage to the holy tank.

I suggest a meeting at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to pay our respects to the passing of the tank

i found him in a porsche forum. i messaged him. ill let you know what happens! so excited to see pictures of this fully completed tank!

That's great! Can't wait to hear about breaking that tank in. Probably a good anecdote about a diatom outbreak or the sump overflowing coming.

While you are waiting, I'll be at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell...

+1 for Combo Pizza Hut/Taco Bell song.

my eyes have glazed over

again.
