Post Your Tank Pic Please

[delbeek]

Okay ... here are a few pics of a 250 gallon tank that has been setup since 1998. The theme of the area is Corals Are Alive! ... so the emphasis is on corals not fish. There are only five fish in here, one Centropyge colini, one C. aurantia and three Chrysiptera parasema.

Now can you see any pipes? spots on the windows? overflow boxes?

I am not claiming this is the greatest tank you will see ... but the point is you can't see any of the mechanicals.

This is a 1200 gallon tank featuring corals found in more tranquil lagoonal environments. Again ... nothing is visible except the corals and fish.

Aloha!~

Delbeek,
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I always get the craziest looks when I clean the coralline from the glass, frown on powerheads, so on and so forth. I hate seeing that crap in the tank. A nice clean back glass, no crappy looking pumps everywhere covered in flaking white and purple coralline, just beautiful animals for me, thank you. Great job, Mr. Delbeek...

Wow, some amazing tanks everyone.

Seeing those pictures Delbeek posts makes me long for being back in Hawaii. <sigh> At least we've got the Shedd aquarium here in Chicago. The new 'Wild Reef' exhibit is quite good.

I'm a little worried...Is it possible to die of envy induced by delbeek's tanks?
