All I can say is wow! I thought my tank was a dream but wow. This tank is massive, packed with huge SPS colonies and even the equipment he is using is spot on for running such a large system. It looks like every detail of this build was so well thought out it is crazy. My only complaint about his setup is his couch is not pointed in the right direction. 😂😂 Than you should do more of these tank field trips. I love seeing how people create these unforgettable home systems and the behind the scenes that keeps them healthy and thriving!!
Joey Merrell I feel like when you’re tank gets that size and you can afford that much equipment, you probly don’t do many water changes. My 72 gallon is 3.5 years old and I only have to do 4-6 changes a year on it
Best of class aquarium. Stunning and perfect. And on a side note, I think the stone facing on the walls is beautiful. Love the 'hidden panels'. Thank you so much for sharing!
I like that manifold design. Variable, practical and expandable; might have to thing about one of those... on a nano setup!! The ideas you can get from looking at larger systems is priceless, imho.
Sola tubes!! 💥 SURGE TANK!!!! #ineedthat What a spectacular setup, thank you for going backstage to show us the infrastructure! And if the secret device is what I think it is, I want one so badly.....but it has to go through regulatory stuff to be made available in Canada, so here’s hoping....🤞🏻that it’s available next year when I start the 300 build....🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Awesome tour, thank you for this! 👍🏻👍🏻
After being in the hobby for 30 years im sure ryan has figured out that the go big or go home approach will cause less problems and heartache. The only items used that cost many times more than standard equipment were the abyzz pumps and the sheer number of radion lights. You could trim back on those two items and this system would be doable for anyone that has some knowledge on how to build up a system. A lot of people will spend 30-35k on a car they like but will that car regrow a mirror after you snap it off and resell it?
you can drive your aquarium to work? I love reef tanks and have a few myself but if you live in a small town you need a car. You don't need an aquarium
Absolutely crazy !! Just wow it's an amazing tank, great job filming ! FYI I had a blue throat trigger in my 180 sps with several shrimp as well as snails and crabs and never had a problem with the fish snacking on them !
Not even close to 7 figures. Figure the tank was 30k, sump 10k, lights 15k, pumps 10k, calcium reactor 2k, protein skimmer 5k, install and plumping 12k, electrical and HVAC 15k, odds and ends 15k. So about $120,000 would be my guess. Not counting the stone thing. I have no idea for that.
That was a magnificent video, the way you speak alone is very soothing and calm and makes it very relaxing to see these videos I thank you for sharing this. Definitely reminds me back in my crazier days of reefing where I'd want the biggest tank I can get, as large as I went though was 6 feet by 5 feet, never went longer than 6 feet although my current tank originally was suppose to hit the 8 foot barrier I balked at the build price I was quoted (apparently there was a quite a shortage of glass at the time, making it more expensive than it ordinarily was), either way I settled with a tiny 200 gallon tank and I think my pocket book thanks me for that. But I will say seeing tanks like this I do get the itch again for large... luckily I'm fairly content where I'm at.
Wowza! I'm totally stealing this as my dream tank for when I win the lottery. I would deff have more fish and algae just because but it's beautiful. The wave boxes in the skimmer box is actually an idea that I have been toying with. I had never seen it before but was an idea as I am drawing up notes like wants and needs for my tank when I can finally jump in with both feet. It obviously functions but I was considering the different pumps for it. I wondered if I could mount a nero type pump and the skimmer box would have been made with sections like this. I was also trying to figure out a surge device above and that ball valve is now noted for later. Sweet tank build for sure. I was and am considering something that feeds often or constant for different animals and I would like to have the food dispersed by the surge device. My tank would be along the 300 400 gallon range but would love something not quite as big as this but the whole fish room is great.
Yo Than, Love the tank tours! Probably my favorite vid series from you. This tank is no different! A suggestion that maybe I only feel needs to happen, is maybe some tank tours of smaller sps tanks, like 100g or less! I'm sure a large majority of your viewers are on smaller tanks than these amazing ones you show! Just a suggestion obviously, otherwise love your channel.
Thanks a lot for bringing this amazing piece of art! Small feedback please indicate the measurements also in the metric system for the rest of the world, would be great to keep watching instead searching the actual measurement conversions.
Great video. Beautiful tank. The one thing I took away was besides the scale the setup was very basic aside from the wavemaker and surge tank. These things arent really practical in most tanks. The rest was just what you see on most tanks just bigger. This just proves to me execution is more important than equipment. With that being said the secret monitor probably really helps the execution part. It will probably cost the same as a small used car but one can dream.
Awesome, I bought a motorized ball valve to make a surge tank just like this. I ended up scrapping the idea, because I had too small of a sump, and I could not figure out how you get around all the sump level fluctuations.
Did this tank make it through the crazy weather that froze Texas a few weeks ago? Hope so. I’ve watched this video many times and hoped he had backup power to sustain the statewide outages. Beautiful tank! Crazy huge colonies
#goals
That is one awesome setup!
any info on the secret product Ryan was testing
I can't imagine having such an amazing aquarium and pointing the couch in the opposite direction.
that is so advanced and over the top i dont think i would enjoy it . at that point you are at the top of the hobby and there is nothing more to do
Awesome videos
Yeah same here. WOW! That catwalk is genius! Looking forward to the rest of the video.
It is pretty much necessary given the height of the tank. 32" tall is so deep to work in.
Very beautiful and organized. Spared no expense.
All I can say is wow! I thought my tank was a dream but wow. This tank is massive, packed with huge SPS colonies and even the equipment he is using is spot on for running such a large system.

Holy sweet mother of Jesus, I can’t even imagine how beautiful that looks in person, you are so lucky Than!!!!!!!
holy moly that's a pimp set up. thanks for filming Than.
This is so relaxing! Eventhough i cant afford this im happy that someone else fulfilled my dreams..thanks for sharing this wonderful video..
Beautiful tank!!
Nice tank! Who ever Ryan is he must have a unlimited supply of money lol
daniel starsiak lmao 😂 for real!!!!!!!
True
@@just4fun6671 that explains it
So.. Ryan Reeves, if the same person.. is Ryback from wwe. I'd imagine he use to have a bit of $$
Mercy, his 10% water change is the size of my whole tank.....but it is awesome
Joey Merrell I feel like when you’re tank gets that size and you can afford that much equipment, you probly don’t do many water changes. My 72 gallon is 3.5 years old and I only have to do 4-6 changes a year on it
@@adamnorvell if you mean 72 and not 720 then you are doing WAY too less water changes.
@@valtteri1683 not if you carbon dose, the reason most people do water changes is to keep nitrates down. Carbon dosing keeps it down.
This is a video worthy of my public endorsement! Thanks, Than!
Nice video and lovely looking reef :)
Great system!!! Love that the large colonies look small in that monster tank
Best of class aquarium. Stunning and perfect. And on a side note, I think the stone facing on the walls is beautiful. Love the 'hidden panels'. Thank you so much for sharing!
Borders on a (private) public aquarium. This is on like, another level. Thanks for the tank tour, Than.
It is better than a lot of reef displays I've seen in public aquariums!
Stunning
I think I appreciate his aquarium even more as you said he’s been in the hobby since the 90’s.
Love this tank AND your video coverage. Great job, man!!
Much appreciated!
Beautiful reef tank!!
Gorgeous tank
Love to see more exotic fish in there
Thats one awesome system ! Cant imagine how much better it is in person 👍👍👍
Hai so beautiful aquarium... 😘😘😘
Amazing Tank, full time job running that beast
I like that manifold design. Variable, practical and expandable; might have to thing about one of those... on a nano setup!! The ideas you can get from looking at larger systems is priceless, imho.

Super Awesome
Next level tank for sure! Thank you for sharing!
Love the stone work and tank.
Beautiful
Ryan is a great friend of mine. Glad to see you cover his system
Ryan was very nice to reach out to me and invite me to film his tank.
After being in the hobby for 30 years im sure ryan has figured out that the go big or go home approach will cause less problems and heartache. The only items used that cost many times more than standard equipment were the abyzz pumps and the sheer number of radion lights.

A lot of people will spend 30-35k on a car they like but will that car regrow a mirror after you snap it off and resell it?
Fair analogy, but most people finance that cost. Little harder to finance a reef 🤣
you can drive your aquarium to work? I love reef tanks and have a few myself but if you live in a small town you need a car. You don't need an aquarium
Amazing setup and always your videos are beyond great!
Absolutely crazy !! Just wow it's an amazing tank, great job filming ! FYI I had a blue throat trigger in my 180 sps with several shrimp as well as snails and crabs and never had a problem with the fish snacking on them !
That Big Sailfin Tang looks awesome!
Love it Looks amazing. I love my new glass tank . 120"x36"30"H
It’s amazing to see the tank at this Stage and see how much it has grown.
This is spectacular - congrats on a great accomplishment! 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolute perfection! Love this tank
Love these tank tours! Your videos are always chocked full of detail and of the highest quality. Keep up the great work!
are you Fin kidding me!!! omg NICE
I thought my tank was big till I saw his, very cool.
Love the tank tour series! Keep it up!
Awesome love the technique showcases!!
Thanks Dorian, glad you enjoyed!
Amazing! thanks for this
man i hope you recorded that surge system in action! awesome tank... cant even imagine its total value.. must be close to 6 figures!
I'd say close to 7 figures
Not even close to 7 figures. Figure the tank was 30k, sump 10k, lights 15k, pumps 10k, calcium reactor 2k, protein skimmer 5k, install and plumping 12k, electrical and HVAC 15k, odds and ends 15k. So about $120,000 would be my guess. Not counting the stone thing. I have no idea for that.
stunning！
Awesome video, as always
Stunning 😭
Amazing!
WOW goals
Loved it
This is easily on the top 5 best reef aquarium builds in the world.
It is certainly one of the nicest I've seen.
That was a magnificent video, the way you speak alone is very soothing and calm and makes it very relaxing to see these videos I thank you for sharing this.

Can we now talk about the secret product mentioned at 16:28?
Probably the Mindstream. The company that made them already went under.
Thanks for sharing.
COOL TANK 👊😎
Amazing video need more like that 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hello! Congratulations on the aquarium! I would like to know some information.
Do you feed the coral? With what? How often?
Thanks!
Thanks Than for the review!
Hey that’s my friends Ryan! I was wondering who this tank belonged to. Very nice. Maybe that’s the same black tang I sold him a while back.
Magnifique, BRAVO !!! 👍👏👏👏
Awesome tour
Love the vid❤️
This tank is a true monster on so many levels 👍
Nice!
Ryan has a very nice show stopping aquarium 👀👍👍😎🍻
Wow. O.O wow. :)
I love it! 🤩🤩🤩

I really like tuxedo urchins. I had a little mini rubber ducky in my tank and my urchin would pick it up and wear it as a hat and it was adorable.

dream tank
Thanks a lot for bringing this amazing piece of art! Small feedback please indicate the measurements also in the metric system for the rest of the world, would be great to keep watching instead searching the actual measurement conversions.
Been watching your channel for an age, and only just seen I wasn't subscribed 🙈.
Now rectified lol
Welcome back!
Looks like Ryan is doing well haha
A beauty
I like that the design isn't overcrowded like many reef tanks. I wish we could see price tags next to some of these things though.
amazing tank! i really wonder what product your testing. well see in a while.. cheers!
I’m speechless 😶🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing this content with us sir!! You never disappoint us fans 🤙👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Than is the Attenborough of reef tanks 👌🏽👍🏽

Old school hard core basic husbandry works really well.
Awesome, I bought a motorized ball valve to make a surge tank just like this. I ended up scrapping the idea, because I had too small of a sump, and I could not figure out how you get around all the sump level fluctuations.
omg.... who ryan is??😂😂 this is stunning
This dude is loaded, obviously!
A surgeon so of course
Please do more tank tours.
I think I need that monitor/doser too.
Did this tank make it through the crazy weather that froze Texas a few weeks ago? Hope so. I’ve watched this video many times and hoped he had backup power to sustain the statewide outages. Beautiful tank! Crazy huge colonies
👊👍
Sounds old school like I remember my dads old 55 from either the 70s or 80s -glass stainless steel rims
Should revisit his tank bro!
guess you could say Ryan REEFS like a pro 😉
Wow! Is all I can say.
Wowww how does he keep his bubble tip anemone bubbled like that its sooooo cool
That’s one sexy tank
Need to do an update video on his system soon
Wow
How much will be the cost of this aquarium set up?
Whoa! Very Impressive! I like hot the flow is handled, the surge system; the wave box and the Sea Sweeps! Did he have any wrasse?
