Hank's Tank

Hank's enormous saltwater reef tank has been chosen as Tank of the Month by The Reef Tank.

This homebuilt seascape is packed with carefully chosen exotic fish and corals:

"I have everything from Zoos and Yuma's to Acroporas, Merulina and Frogspawns."

And required a surprising amount of engineering and impenetrable terminology:

120gl All Glass Aquarium with the Mega flow overflows
45gl Basement Sump
75 Hang on AGA tank - Low Flow, No Lights (pseudo Cryptic Zone - mostly for water volume) with live rock, various sponges and duster clusters.

ASM G3 Skimmer, 1 Sea Swirl running a closed loop using a MAG 9.5, TUNZE Osmolator Auto Top off, SEIO power head...


I have no idea how much this obsession has cost him in money and time, but the thing is freaking beautiful.
