Re: Doc's Reef Build
throughout the whole filtration system where pails of bleach water you had to step into to make sure any bacteria was dead before changing sections. they took NO Risks. kinda cool.
 Here is a top view of the huge skimmers for the main tank. They empty them twice a day and have a mechanism to flush out the skimmate. Next to the skimmers, you can see a cement square, which is the top of the 3 story tower that houses 4 million bioballs. I have a pic of a crate of the balls waiting to get added.   That is it for The Tank at the Golden Nugget. I will work on uploading the pics of the tank at Caesar's Palace in a bit. I hoped you liked it. -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Doc's Reef Build
ONTO THE FORUM SHOPPES!!!
Here are a few pics of the tank above ground, we will get to the filtration in a bit. It is not as impressive as The Tank at the Golden Nugget, but is pretty impressive nonetheless.    Huge Grey Angelfish - well over a foot long  -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Doc's Reef Build
A white-spotted Bamboo, close relative to the brown-banded bamboo, which I will have about July (don't worry Biff, I will start a new thread of that tank build - all 400 gallons of it!!!)
  I snapped these for Alexander and I so we can dream about what our Koran Angelfish will look like when they mature! Such beauty!   And what picture tour would be complete without the obligatory picture of a massive Sohal tang. This guy is about 15 inches (best guess) and thick as your foot. Big fish! You can see the Koran Angelfish paying his respects to him by bowing underneath the Sohal.  -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

I haven't really been watching this thread and see all these new posts thinking Doc is building something cool. So the 1st pic I see is a pan with bleach...hmmmmm. Then I see a giant protein skimmer....wtf lol So it's not Doc's build, but awesome pics. Looks like it was a great experience.

Re: Doc's Reef Build
Wow those are some great pics. I haven't been to Vegas in Years. We used to go all the time when our friends lived there and we lived in CA. Then they moved to Utah so we started going up there and visited Mesquite instead.
