- Really only for documentary's sake...this is just a static view of the Volcano Tank with one or two zoom-ins on interesting things. More for the die-hard fans of the Volcano Tank.
(Updated: as per my comments below, the tangs were temporary and made it into a 450 gallon 7' ddep tank as planned)
(Answers: no, the wood will not be ruined by evaporation as it is open top and no condensation is pooled anywhere, it does lose a ton of water which is why I have an auto refill sump. All the plumbing is outside so the lightning ballasts, chiller, pumps, etc are in a rubbermaid container. No the fish don't jump out because I chose fish carefully. The lionfish passed away after 1 year and everything else is alive and well. Well, except for one plate coral.)
See www.konolua.com for more details.
Hope you enjoy it....very nice to relax to. This is exactly what I stare at for hours a day!

THE VOLCANO:
75 gallon, custom designed reef tank built with exposed rock structure extending over 1 out of the water. There are three waterfall spigots, one on the left of the Volcano filling a small rock basin, and two on the right creating a run off into the water.

I looked at this today again and it's got to be one of the coolest and most creative tanks I have ever seen. I hope you have kids because this is the best education money can buy. !! Cheers!
probably the best fish tank I have seen so far, I could stare at that for hours too
Hands down the coolest saltwater tank I have seen. Those crabs are badass, the first one made a grab and run right to the top of the volcano.
Hands down the best setup for an aquarium I have ever seen. Beautiful. Loved the crabs - got a good laugh at those.
Easily the coolest Aquarium I have ever seen. Awesome video!
love the crab walking on the volcano such a cool ass idea ..so natural for them ...good job
Yes, yes and yes!! Love the volcano at center and coming out of the water is incredible.
Seeing that crab grab the food and run onto land, freakin nice... Awesome tank
I thought I had troubles with evaporation in a 90gal tall, but the auto refill sump is something I hadn't ever looked into. Once I'm in a more permanent living residence, I hope to start up a new aquarium or paludarium soon. Bravo on the display, looks like a healthy, beautiful aquarium.
That honestly has to be the best salt water tank and maybe the coolest tank in general I've ever see
Awsome tank, love the little crabs really gives the whole tank an edge.
Well...at first I thought, "ewww. Why?" Yet, I was captivated. Kept watching and fell in love with this beautiful scape. It's so jolly and active. The crabs made me smile and chuckle. Imagined them speaking. Such character!!! Everyone of your inhabitants had a voice :D and it all cones together beautiful. How unique. I've never seen anything like it. Thank you for opening my eyes and mind.
Omg! I love it! So colourful and everything! I've watched it over and over xx
Really good looking tank. I could spend hours staring at that too
I love the crab that crawls up the volcano. Nice tank, needs to be deeper in my opinion.
Seriously, one of my favorite tanks of all time! Awesome!
bro i have no words for this beautiful tank to express how i feel about it
A M A Z I N G... your aquarium is just wow and the water... SOOOO CLEAR AND CLEAN... i have 3 goldfish fantail on my 46 gallon with two power filter HOB and water looks cloudy lol
At first I don't look it, but after taking a little time to really look at it...It has kinda grown on me and now think it's really great tank and you have some great FISH! Godd Job my friend! :-)
In my eyes you have a very artistic touch you built a masterpiece.
One of the coolest tanks i hve ever seen. :) Awesome idea!!!
That's a refreshingly different aquscape. I like it. A light up high to illuminate the volcano and the tops of the mangroves as they grow would be a nice addition.
This is just amazing. A pure Masterpeice wow ! ! ! Keep-up the good work..

Absolutely Beautiful. I love how it comes out of the water it really involves you with the fish tank almost on a personal level, instead of it being behind glass.
the best aquarium i have seen. love that the crabs are able to go out of the water. wish i felt confident enough to put a tank together from scratch.
one of the best saltwater tanks i seen so far on youtube
Love it. I have a feeling we're going to use this as inspiration.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!
Best fish tank I've seen on TH-cam!
Love that the cabs can climb up.
Crabs?
Wauw this tank is amazing... how cool are those crabs haha. I think a little to many fish though!
One of the coolest tanks ive ever seen. very nice
I love the mangrove seedlings you've put in!! I'm growing some now for my tank.
thats so beautiful! I love the crabs- its just like actually going to the beach and watching them scavenge around
This is gorgeous. I love the crabs climbing out! You zoomed in on the lionfish for a good minute but I didn't even notice it was there until the end. Nice camoflage. What people are saying about the tank being overcrowded is probably true, but you have a lot of cleaners, and a healthy reef. I imagine your sump must be large, adding a lot more stability to the system than the 75 gallons alone. Make sure those nitrogen levels stay 0. I hope the tank can be sustained as is! :) Beautiful!
Masterpiece! So well done. Definite inspiration for my eventual lagoon tank
I immediately thought of Richard Dreyfuss in " close encounters of the 3rd kind" whereas he build the (model of) devils mountain in his living room, an wondered if (afterwards)your wife left too. Then I saw the crab on top crawling around and have to say; this is probably the best way I have seen yet in keeping crabs in the tank whilst maintaining the most natural environment for them I have seen. Dude, its Natural Museum quality, fascinating and most utterly AWESOME!!!
Killa set up,and super clean can we see your sump.
this is my favorite tank, the best ive seen as of today and planning to make one on my birthday!
I've never seen an aquarium like that! Very beautiful
God that is absolutely stunning mate. Love it! The mountain clearly needs to be twice the height and double the size haha. Absolutely amazing.
thats really nice. those type of tanks seem very easy to maneuver around, nice and wide, but not too tall. i def want one in the future (=
hahaha that crab grabbed that food like a ninja spider!! and knew exactly where to take it so no fish can steal it from him haha this must be one of the most beautifull tanks i've ever seen!!!
Hands down, one of the most impressive tanks I have ever seen based on imagination.
So creative, and the refugium is right in the tank!
I really like that you used mangroves. You never see enough plants in an marine aquarium.
just beautiful! would spend hours to watch.
congratulations!
very nice setup! unique as well
Damn what a badass tank!!! Siiick I gotta share this on Facebook!!
Why are people complaining about cramped fish, they have a lot of room, maybe not enough, but as long as he takes care of the tank well enough they should be fine. Also, he stated it was really only for documentaries sake, so just enjoy the beauty of this tank!
Great looking tank!
Beautiful tank, I love the concept
I Absolutely LOVE your tank!!!! Your fish look so healthy keep up the good work. I dont have to tell you that you know what you are doing. looks great
This a really cool fish tank , good job.
Great video, awesome tank setup!
Was funny when the crab got the food and scurried out of the water before the fish could take it away. Nice implementation.
me quede maravillada con este acuario esta hermoso!!!!! yo quisiera uno asi!!!!!!!! de verdad muchisimas FELICIDADES! si un poquito mas alto estaria mucho mejor pero aun asi se ve precioso!!!
8 minutes of my life NOT wasted.
This is one of the coolest tanks ive ever seen
The crab's all.... *I PINCH!!!* and noms on some food. :D
Beautiful tank....
Beautiful, great idea , truly original and interesting to look at.
Wow, this is amazing, maybe one day I will have a setup like this
amazing set up i was hoping the volcano blew water pure high up but oh well amazing tank
Man I like your tank its really cool looking, and i bet its easy to clean.
LOOOOOOOL! the crab took his food and went out of the tank! he is an intelligent piece of crab!! :D
I love that crab. Any time a fish got close he was all, "BACK OFF ME, BRO".
Thats a very nice tank, I love the build with the "above surface arear" but even more that its being climbed by craps, it makes a better complete experience.
- but lige others I think some of those fish are just a bit to big in this tank.
- I love the sound of water gently running down the volcano, this makes the tank joyfull even if you cant see the tank, the sound will make you calm.
Sekond adding some sort off a small fog machine should make a perfect add to this,
Very nice, brilliant idea, well done.
funny all of you who warn about being too cramped and over fed. Looks VERY healthy to me, so must be looked after well and lovingly. Must get a lot of evaporation, so I expect the water is replaced continously which is a balancing act in itself. Brilliant setup. THANKS
Looks like a triceratops took a dump in your fish tank.
That crab was awesome. Grabs the food then gets out of the water as fast as possible.
Very cool how the crab grabbed its food and moved out of the water!
I love how the crab grabbed the food and got out of the water. He said "you fish aren't taking my food!" lol
I like this, it's a very original set-up.
Pretty cool concept. Looks nice.
Greetings friend I really like the aquarium one of my favorite pastimes is to search on the internet so I can say that and seen thousands of them but never one like this is a beautiful friend, I congratulate you for this aquarium and what I admire most is that it's salt water which makes it more difficult to care really like fish species and creativity have you implemented in the aquarium with the volcano.
Wonderful Tank! Thanks For Sharing!
I love your setup :3
I thought about making a bigger version of this but instead of a a reef, making it a stingray and shark tank with a few other predators. Beautiful tank.
I love how when the crab gets the food, it gets outta the water taunting the fish.
this is one of the coolest tanks i've ever seen
Lovely! The crabs are making the most of it
Awesome tank! The crabs that come out of the water on to the mountain are the best! but some of the bigger fish must get claustrophobic
cool to see you have a crab in there. I used to have a red clawed crab in my freshwater but one night I came home and it was sitting on its island eating one of my neons lol
Awesome tank, great set-up, can't help but feel it would be even better if they had more water to swim round in.
That's amazing. It should erupt fish food! haha. Thanks for posting.
nice work bud.................
best salt water tank ive seen yet hands down
Nice setup, beautiful fish and a great collection.
although it seems to be fairly wide, if the aquarium was a little higher it would have been perfect. Because that would have added an extra dimension to it, if the fish could swim up and down too.
Thats a beautiful green carpet you got there :)
Oh wow... I just commented on how I seen this a couple years ago. and my 2 year old comment is right below this lol. I just noticed in your discription that you chose your fish carefully for the jumping aspect. I thin I saw some chrome in there and I've had a couple jump ship. Anyway was looking for odeas, that's why I looked up this video lol. it's different.
WOW! Maximum points from me! Make a vid explaining your sump and filtration!
That's just bad ass... An absolutely awesome idea!
Really beautifull. I also like the light of your tank. Most tanks seem for me too blue. But in sea one meter under surface the light isn't blue. Looks very natural..
This is truly amazing!
Smart crab lol. Really nice setup!!
I must say, your tank is impressive.
Stunning. I am speechless.
You deserve an award.
Who needs to watch tv when you got these guys to look at ... and they fight over food...wow!
