Somebody has got a little too much time on their hands. Very neat, but too much effort and money for me lol.

http://www.tropicorium.com I thought it was great too! It reminds me of one of my LFS only on a smaller scale. It's where I can get $10.00 frags.

Romulus, MI ehhh. I used to live in Warren, and then St. Claire Shores. Great great waters there, unlike the ugly cold ocean here in CA.

Those tanks look sad though. my LFS here in town has a huge flat tank set up as if it were a fish tank. There are some clowns and other fish swimming around with em also.

They have a few fish in all of their flat tanks. There is one with just large bottom dwelling sharks. It's a pretty cool place.

that guy needs a new hobby, either that or he should be mailing out corals, because he is obviously doing that for fun, there cant be much of a profit that way.

he probably has to worry about heating in cooling in the winter and summer
and with the nano outside you would also have to worry about that and make sure nothing can trouble it like a stray cat or something
