These set ups quality for DIY...right?

[rubinsteinnyc]

Hello all, I wanted to show off my friend who has very skilled hands and does these. I think I am getting me one soon
I am just in love with those starphire tanks with small narrow seams. I am thinking of 150gallon, dim ligths, few stumps, few wilds...you know the drill

And few more just because I have few minutes to kill :P
These two should be enough length for swimming

This tank is 7ftx7ft and 36inches tall, which one is better for wilds, long or deep?

Really nice tanks, but that stand is super nice. I'm in to sleek stands like that and would love to have something like that. These tanks look to be made with quality in mind. It is your friend that makes them? If so, he is going to go in business or already is?

He started off as a DIY to support household income that was VERY low... he's been doing great as people have noticed his talent and attention to detail.
He always says that life if too short to waste it being mediocre.

Something like this in starphire would be nice:

[rubinsteinnyc]

ah yes

These kinds of stands, in the saltwater world for sure, are in high demand. More and more manufactures are leaning towards the clean lines and if you can produce something that matches for less money you really have something going for you. They are very nice indeed.

He definitely has a skilled hand for this. For my own tank I will be getting a cabinet made out of stumps of old trees. should be sexaaay

His latest creation, this stack is supposed to be put between bookshelves in someone's home library... pretty sweet. 3x65 gallon tanks with starphire front.
