    i am not a big coral lover like dave as a very big fish lover so i like powder blue tangs madly so i like the powder blue tang clip that comes when you see him start feeding fish after clip goes all black for cupple of seconds

  • tashdog1 said:

    well i am very, very, meticulous over nitrates being very low due to how big i like the fish to be and what kinds and how many i have too that i bought david saxbys 15000,litre aquarium size nfp nitrate filter, due to its very high capacity i dont need it flowing fas as on a smaller tank

    Hi Tashdog just a quick reminder that although D-D are suppliers of Deltec product we are not Deltec.
    We also supply other aquatic premier brands such as Giesemann,Rowa and a growing number of D-D own branded aquatic goods.

    Dang this is beautiful. I miss my reef tank so much — moved and the tank went elsewhere :( Congrats David on literally bringing the ocean into your home.

  • ORUPRANKSTAZ said:

    Holy crap… that’s an ASS-load of maintenance.

    It’s sooo nice, though! :)

  • gfarrington68 said:

    This is the most beautiful tank I have ever seen. I can’t wait to get started on mine.

  • themalina92 said:

    Nice tanks, but what happens when you move? does everything just die?

  • themalina92 said:

    These look nothing like the tanks they have set up at Walmart with all the dead fish floating on the surface.

    Even though things kind of suck right now you can still make smart investments to at least avoid the rate of inflation which is pretty large at the moment.. check out the newsletter from authoropen . com

    JESUS CHRIST!!! how big is that bad boy?
    (the tank that is)

  • TonyatDD said:

    David would find a way to house his stock and keep it healthy if he was to move(which is unlikely). David is a very experienced hobbyist so rest assured nothing just dies whilst in his care.

  • TonyatDD said:

    David main display is L shaped and the dimensions are 120″ by 78″ by 60″ by 39″ by 60″ by 39″ by 48″ deep.
