    That guy has a masterpiece on his hands. From beautiful composition, extraordinary degree of removal of equipment from view, to tremendous time-savings through automation - I am thrilled to see that. Thanks for the link!

    And I am happy to say, hands-down, that to this day... that is one of the very finest tanks and setup I've ever seen. Paul Brun is to be congratulated, and IMO earns a spots in the pantheon of truly great tanks.

    Ditto scolley. Reef tanks have always been a passion of mine. I've seen many, from the National Aquarium in Baltimore, the Boston Aquarium, the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, Shedd in Chicago, to displays in stores.. That Fish Place, Now Playing with Fish, A Fishy Deal... the list could go on forever after 40 years. Mr. Brun has a tank that is simply a benchmark. Simulating the ocean is difficult work.. even on a good day, mom nature sometimes fails. Almost speechless... but I can manage WOW!
