Where to start...... James (Wrecker777) and I, have for some time been visiting quite a few of the exciting and inspirational tanks seen on this forum, thanks to the very welcoming reefers out there!! Following our last trip, we've decided to share some of our thoughts / pics on the systems we visit. Well, the deal is that I do the pics, and James does the words. So over to James it is:

The plan is to keep updating this thread each time we visit a reefer. Below is an index of each of the tanks we have visited (clicking will take you to the related thread):


Aladin's Cave (Thanks Kevin) - No photo's on this one though :(
Adnaan's Monster (Thanks Adnaan) - No photo's on this one though :(
Reefingbudda's TOTM (Thanks Tom)
Scubamans Mansion (Thanks Graham)
The Great Abyss (Thanks Rupert)
John and Cam Bali Heaven (Thanks J&C)
Simons SPS overload (Thanks Si)

I am still working on this thread, formating etc but it should be completed by Monday

Regards

Rob (Emperor Angel) & James (Wrecker777)

guys

this is going to be an excellent thread, which will be a quick fix for people to check out various sytems, then to move on to the whole thread

and as a start you have visited some stunning tanks, and the list itself is endless

keep up the good work

Pinned as everything in the section below will be moved and the section will be closed off over time.

The whole Members tank area is to be revamped and strangely I was planning on a more substantial linking system with pictures for EVERY single tank and the name of the owner, so people can easily hot link to tanks they like the look of by clicking on the picture..think of it as a glossary of tanks

Hi Guys,

We need to arrange for you to come and do some proper pictures, especially of the sump house with the fish eye lens.

Hey Gents
Apologies for taking so long to get posting on our thread :) Work has been manic, and I've hardly had a second to check UR over the past 3 weeks. Thank god I'm getting my fix tonight (I say tapping my UR pumping veins)!!!

I'll try catch up with James this week and we can scribble some things down and pull all the photo's together along with a mini write up (Maybe call it TOTW - Tank of the weekend). It's the least we can do considering all of those who've been so kind as to let us into their homes :)

We'll be back......

It's hopefully going to be this weekend, as I've finally finished building my deck and BBQ. So will be sorting out all the pics and posting some reviews / thoughts on each system we've seen.
