    I just got my tank from CTC.. Same eurobraced with black silicone. The craftsman ship is amazing.. The edges are all machine polished but some of the annoying comments are speaking of the front corner eurobracing - which was polished slightly to avoid sharp ends... rookies..

    Well I don't know where all the haters in the comments come from but don't let them bring you down. Some have nothing better to do with their lives than complain. I think the tank is beautiful. And I think you handle your comments in a very mature manner . Shuts people right up ! Anyways I was drawn to your channel from your blog post about milky/cloudy water. Great content, I subscribed, keep up the good work.

      Many thanks for watching. As I mentioned in a prior comment, disclosure of a material connection has been noted in the video description. Again, I will not do a review unless I stand behind a product. I did in fact delete a review on my channel in which the product started to have performance issues about 9 months after the review. But I do appreciate the feedback.

      Are you talking about having performance issues on this tank after 9 months or something else? I think the tanks from Coast to Coast are SO nice btw and would love to be able to afford one.

    • @ReefBum
      @ReefBum  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, I am talking about another product, not this tank. This frag tank has been up and running for nearly a year and I have had no problems at all. And my display is going to be up for two years this July. Would not change a thing on either tank and would no doubt order from these guys again. I have been to their production facility and have seen first hand the quality of the materials and craftsmanship that goes into their products.

    I wanted to ask... What is the diameter of the 5 or so holes that are drilled at the entrance of the external overflow box?

      +Byron Morrison You might be referring to the euro-bracing and lid for external overflow. This is a high-end tank for sure.

      I believe in investing in quality since I am in it for the long haul. Folks will spend $500 to $1000 for individual frags so why not on equipment that is reliable? I purchased a cheap mass produced aquarium and it started to leak. This is just one reefers opinion and I understand others may feel differently.

    euro bracing is only for support for tanks raller then 24 inches! why would you or for that matter aquarium builder let you go with and spend the extra money not needed on euro bracing??? Please don't say that rimless tanks splash when cleaning, because they don't. Or that snails will crawl out, because they won't! it's just as easy for snail to climb over the euro bracing as a rimless tank. I've had coast to coast tell my customers that, neither of which is true. that's the only reason I brought it up. if euro bracing is just something you wanted because you thought it looked good, or you were given the tank(by Coast to Coast) which I believed what has happened then I understand. I'd use it to. But just in case you had a reason for it id be glad to hear it. thank you for your time!

    • @ReefBum
      @ReefBum  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Edward, thanks for watching and for your detailed comments. I have always gone with euro bracing since I do like to have a lot of flow for my SPS, especially at the top of the tank to keep the water oxygenated and refract the light. I also believe it does help, to a certain degree, to keep some fish from carpet surfing. I do love to keep wrasses and in all the years I have kept them I have never had one jump.....knock on wood :) Yes, folks do use netting at the top but I am not a big fan of this look. As for snails, I have never had one climb out and over my euro bracing but perhaps that has happened to others. But hey, the great thing about this hobby is that there are many different options to achieve success and I decided to pay the extra money to go with the euro bracing. Sometimes it just comes down to personal preference.

      Yep, thanks for bringing that up. I did this video before I started to include a statement of a material connection in the video description for having some sort of compensation for doing a review. It has now been added. Whether I am compensated for a review or not, I do stand behind all the products I showcase on this channel. I will say that Coast To Coast will be the only place I will purchase a glass tank in the future. Yes, they are expensive but the quality and customer service is incredible and I have seen a lot in my 20+ years in the hobby.

    • @ReefBum
      @ReefBum  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't get your China reference but I did get a discount on this tank so there is a material connection between me and Coast To Coast Custom Aquariums. But I only use top quality equipment that I believe in and would recommend to others. I have 4 other Coast To Coast Custom Aquarium tanks and they are all top notch. I would not use any other tank builder even if I did not get a discount from CTC.
