Downhill's 200g Starfire Marineland Deep Dimension

I got to see this tank a few weeks ago and it really is stunning. The more I think about the 3 foot depth, the more I like it.

no offense to the camera man but id agree it looks 10x better in person =)

Sorry for the missed compliment Shane. Thanks. I don't know if the frogfish even compare to coral...just kidding, they are freaking sweet.

UPDATE:
Alright, sorry for the long delay everyone. Here are some update pics of the tank and setup. I really HATE my camera. The tank was crystal clear and full of color when I took these pics, but for some reason my camera makes everything look blurry and really washed out. I have tried tons of settings and don't know what to do about it but until I get a better camera I guess this is the best I am going to get.

First off, here is what I wrapped my stand and canopy in. It is just black fabric that my fiance sewed to make it pleated as you would see surrounding a table for a booth at the fair or something. It is not my dream stand, but it looks rather nice and functions for the time being.



You can get the idea here.



And here are a couple FTS. I wish my camera was better because this tank is really starting to get some great color.

Curtis!  Did you forget to submit your bio?  Good catch Terrence.  I haven't looked at the presidency page for awhile!  Am I still on there?

These are sweet looking corals Curtis. Congrats. I am going to have to get a nice Scolymia one of these days.

Thanks. I really like the deep tanks as well. The best deep tank I have ever seen is Steve Weast's tank.

One day I would like to have a tank like that, or maybe a really long one...like 15' long, but that is in the distant future...we'll see what actually happens.

Here are a couple pics of some coral as well. The acan is definitely my favorite!

Ya I hear you. Costs can build up pretty quick. If I were you I would not skimp on pumps. Reeflo pumps are the best/most efficient on the market and I highly recommend spending the extra up front, and saving money in the long run with electricity. I replaced 5 pumps with 1 reeflo pump. The 5 pumps were: return for 200g, return for frag tank, skimmer feed pump, 2x recirc skimmer pumps. Good luck on the build and let me know if you have questions. FYI, there is someone selling a reeflo pump in the classified section right now.

I am here to answer questions. Plumbing can either be a major pain, or really simple and clean...depends on how you go about it. What beast are you speaking of?

Thanks man. I have seen some of the tanks you had up for sale lately and was seriously temped to buy the big ones, but then you have to buy lights and pumps for it, and I would rather just devote my time to this setup right now. I just setup a new frag system and that has been a lot of work too. You are welcome to come check it out in person and have a beer with me if you would like.
