:down: I have been wondering about this ever since I seen how many gallons it was. Most people dont start off with a 2000 gallon tank. Even though he said it came with the house.

NO KIDDING!!!!
I started out with a 1,800 gallon tank. I cant even imagine a 2,000!!
I'm thinking about setting up a 15,000 gallon tank. i'll make a new thread. (hey, if im gonna do an imaginary tank, its gonna be HUGE.) its gonna be a cylinder, going from the first floor, up thru the 2nd, to the roof, using natural sunlight. mostly sharks, jellyfish, sps, lps, and large angels. nothing crazy.
Any advice on what to keep my PH at?
I think that is enough flaming on this thread.
None of you know what this persons story is. For all you know he went away on vacation.
I do know one thing though, posts like this one are not tolerated on RS and not what we are about here. Take it over to Reef Central Online Community (<--provided you the door) if you like.
SFSwimmer is more then likely the real deal considering his location, posts and situation.
If any of you have a problem with this thread then just don't reply. I am very disappointed in the way some of you have welcomed this new member and am not surprised to see him not replying to your posts.
Some of you have taken months to build a nano. Give the guy a break.

I think leaving the posts serves as a learning experience to others reading this thread, as to what is not acceptable on Reef Sanctuary. Without those posts it makes the mod posts meaningless. Time to just get back on topic and hope that the thread owner can continue on with getting help and feedback.
LOL, who's flaming??? I believe his story. But maybe he doesn't know digital camera's have been around for years. I mean if he has this much interest in our help how hard can it be to post 1 pic? I am not flamming, but if it was me the topic would be full of pics. All and welcome to the forum.

You have to realize or should have realized by the OP's comments that reefing is not a high priority hobby. Getting the tank was a happenstance of buying the house, not buying the house to get the tank. Several comments were made that they considered just removing the tank all together. If we can get water into his tank I am sure we can convert him to full on reef geek but as of right now it appears to me that it may be more of a burden then an excitement.

+1 ^ I agree, and I'm sure with all the moving he has to do to accomadate a house big enough for 2200g tank he has his hands full already at this point. 2 years ago before I got into SW and reefing I would not have a clue what to do and would probably let it be for a while, while I got settled but NOW my goodness it would be a dream!!!!

Just to see pictures i made an account just for you but alas there are none (sad face).
to ReefSanctuary, a real Sanctuary of reef forums, with lots of very nice members
Well I hope we get to hear more about this tank/setup. I though I was starting out big with the 125gal I'm running now, 2200gal that is just insane. Think I might have to quit my job and try and get work taking reef pics from my living room to support the tank habit I acquired. Tank that size would take days to enjoy just parts of it. Good luck hope it all works out, and for sure, ugly or not, everyone hear will be crying with envy to see the algae cover salt ringed muddy rock looking tank of this size. A pic with someone standing next to the tank would probably best to get some perspective.
This weekend I was talking to the owner of one of our lfs, he told me they make more profit from tank maintenance then they do from selling at the store and it a nice big store with lots of coral, fish & products.
There are lots of very well off that can afford expensive tank maintenance for lovely tanks and not have to learn much about the hobby ... might be this is the case here and he has decided to go with that option - seems he referred to it early on.

I sent out an email to SFSwimmer making sure he just didn't bail out because of all the doubt people were feeding into the thread.
Hopefully they will respond and we can get this thread back on track.
For all we know, they did not close on this house and the tank is still sitting empty

COMMOn, WHAT'S HE LIKE 4 YEARS OLD. Do you send out apologies to everyone who people think is bluffing, lol. I am sure he read this. I am pretty sure he's taken a lot of pics of his new house, so pan over to the tank and upload one. Or maybe it broke.
