I've got one that grows about the same rate. Problem is I don't have the space in my tank for it! Is that your tank, benny?

unfortunately, it is not! it is in a local culver's restaurant. the owner is a hobbiest and one of our local club members. i have had the pleasure of helping with the weekly maintenance, every sunday morning before the restaurant opens, since the tank had water in it. we have become good friends and i am very thankful to be a part of his success! the display is a fiberglass and double sided starfire tank sized 11x5x4. it holds 1200 gallons - 2000 gallon total system capacity. i said 3ft tall earlier, but there is a 6" sandbed and another 6" above the water line. if anyone is ever in the central illinois area, shoot me a pm if you'd like an equipment tour. it is worth the drive even from chicago.

oh yeah - we've pulled at least 50 frags from that birdsnest, too.

Very nice looking birdsnest. Would you happen to have a full tank shot of the tank? If the rest of the tank looks like this shot our local club may need to take a road trip for lunch/ field trip We are located in Northern Indiana. Where exactly is this Culvers located?
