The tanks themselves are absolutely incredible. They custom coral inserts are a bit tacky but otherwise the tanks are incredible.

Yea, not the kind of tanks that you want to mess around with everyday or you'd have to wear scuba gear. But very nice, nonetheless.

Yes...the inserts are icky. How would you even clean those?

Actually, how do you clean any of those tanks? Considering I use the MagFloat daily on my 34g and do a weekly glass scraping to get all the stuff the MagFloat can't, those would be a nightmare!

I have that site in my favorites.
I love the headbord tank:1luvu:
Its amazing what can be made from acrylics these days.If you can imagine it and have the coin,they can make it!
If you have the cash to buy it ,you can afford to have someone else clean it!lol

Man, that headboard thing creeps me out. I'd never want to sleep under it. One wrong move with your girlfriend, and it's over, if you know what I mean lol.

That's where three of my tanks came from. They were shipped by truck to site, and since I live in Arkansas, needless to say shipping was quite expensive.

I'm not sure but there has to be some kind of access and specialty tools for cleaning and placing stuff.

Awsome designs, as long as one doesn't take their fake corals into account. My favorite was the aquarium you could walk under in the tunnel. Those guys do some fantastic work!

Any idea as to how cleaning something as elborate as these is done?

When you have tanks like that, you can afford professionals. I liked the big tank sitting alongside the swimming pool. The outdoor tank. Classy and not gaudy.

Cool. I bet they did work at the Georgia Aquarium.

I like the ones where they're set in the wall and sort of loom over you (concave curve as opposed to a bow front's convex curve). The giant tunnel tanks are nice, too. If you've been to the GA Aquarium, it's quite overwhelming to walk under a giant tank and have a big whaleshark swim over your head.
