My neighbor had a huge tank almost like yours, however when hurricane came through it knocked out the power for two weeks. I helped him keep generators running at all times, sometimes it was scary because I would have to travel 20 miles to work everyday and he as well. Keeping the tank full was a challenge but we made it. Nice video!

One of, if not the coolest tanks I've ever come across on yt. Stunning.

[Francis.Rivers]

The more natural, the better. This is beautiful

[Algaewarrior]

I really like the "natural" approach. Just let the corals to their thing.

[charlottefalconer]

Stunning, most spectacular tank I’ve ever seen. Refreshing to see large colonies of grown out corals, especially soft corals in today’s fashion of colourful ‘sticks’. Nature has done the Aquascaping and Mother Nature knows best! Gorgonia are always overlooked and seeing this masterpiece is totally inspiring!

Beautiful. Looks so natural. Mind you, the Xenia on the glass would have to go for me.

[Denjixerwin]

People like stephan is the reason the world is still a better place to live ...Absolutely gorgeous tank

[hanniballecter]

Perfection....small piece of mother nature creating the bespoke aquascape

[GazuntaiWorld]

Of the many reasons I love this tank, top of the list would be because it looks like a real spot in a coral reef.
So many tanks look contrived, not this one.
Top marks to the owner!

Love it. Nature finds a way.
Less stress than forcing nature to look the way you want.

auch nach drei Jahren immer noch mein absolutes Lieblingsaquarium!

[architexturalchaos]

I love the "overgrown" glass. To me that's the way to go - as long as the the animal health/behaviour in the enclosure (not necessarily an aquarium) is not compromised by overgrowth, there can be no better. I can not begin to imagine how much know-how, sensibility and creativity was needed to make the initial setup so that it can grow this way. Respect!

This is the true way of having a piece of sea in your house. I think it’s beautiful to reef in this way.

[ReinkeDK]

Simply amazing, as a diver i have seen plenty of reefs, and this tank is utterly amazing.

[darthtaiter]

This is my absolute dream aquarium, the more natural the better. Those were probably the happiest captive reef fish and the healthiest corals I've ever seen. 🥰🥰🥰

[apdroidgeek]

Omg it looks like u have the entire ocean in your room, it doesn't look messy at all and even if it is, it gives that extremely natural look!.

[thenomad]

I think that's an incredible tank. I prefer the natural style, it achieves what I have always wanted from a reef tank - to have a little slice of a marine environment as it should be in the wild, inside your home. It also seems fairer and looks to provide a more natural habitat to all the inhabitants.
I would have to keep the front glass clear if it was me though I think, partly just due to being anally retentive about keeping the viewing area clear but also - at some point youll need to step in, growth dictates that the entire front glass will be covered one day if left unchecked, so at some point action *will* be necessary regardless - I would just step in and do it sooner.

I like this tank *so* much more than the carefully aqua scaped, tiered reef style tanks. The owner should be very very proud of what he's achieved there.

It’s so beautiful. I really like letting it grow how it will and love to see someone seeing the art in such beautiful species

He's one of the few reefers who gets that the corals ARE the reason, and as few fish as possible makes the best reef. Like Amano's natural aquariums prove..you really can't have both unless you build filters the size of a room. Choose one or the other!
I would only add..Best to remove the seedling Mangroves. Unless they are the size of a small tree, chances are they will decline soon and just be a drain on the system. That amount of Mangrove would only help a 20 gallon reef anyways.
Beautiful aquarium. The Xenia's are my favorite soft coral..and if you can get them to pulse..thats just another world of beauty.

[silversiren]

Absolutely stunning. More than that, it's great to see such well kept animals. I bet you'll never find a Betta in less than ten gallons in this man's house. You can tell his fish are given the royal treatment or they wouldn't display with such vibrancy!
