I like the Takasi Amano planted tanks. He's the master of the planted tank as an art form.

I only WISH I could have a tank like those ones they were building. One of these days............

Sweet link though.

Nice looking Asian chick there too! I want that AND the aquarium.

In that amazing reef set up what are the pressurized gas cylinders for?

I didn't think you needed co2 for reef tanks. O2?

He is running CO2 on his calcium reactor. And the other two huge cylinders are for phosban. He had them custom made. I have a calcium reactor on my tank....and its not too much smaller then his is....which makes me wonder how in the world his keeps up with his massive corals.

phosban is a pressurised gas? I thought it came in granules.

by **fihsboy** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 2:39 am

It does. The one pressurized cylnder that looks like a bullet is CO2 and then the other two that look like dive tanks, are plexi glass dive tanks that have been modified to be phosban reactors. Its pretty sick. No one with a normal tank would ever need something that size. But its an awesome idea.

there is to much info on that post my god im like a kid in a candy store, if read it twice now and need to read it 6 more times to get it all.........lol what a project

did he ever say how much money he has invested in it?

by **fihsboy** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:11 am

He never did say how much it cost. BUT, he told how much he paid for a heater module.......He paid 300 of his dollars.......aka 8 US dollars. In the US it would cost around 200-300+. So I think the exchange rate is a little helpful on his build. Its still expensive.....but im sure its not as insane as you think.
