4000+ gallon living reef

I'm considering starting a build thread for the Living reef exhibit that will be in the Loveland Living Planet aquariums new facility.  Please say "I" if you are interested in following the thread!  

If there is enough interest (I can't believe is just said that, why wouldn't there be?) in this I would be happy to begin and maintain a build thread.

As a teaser, here is a glimpse of the AWESOMELY LARGE rock that Marc at Marcorocks has cut just for us.  (There is a heck of a lot more than this going in the system!)

Enjoy!

I!

"I" went to this page to learn more but when I clicked on the time lapse video of construction it says, "This video is private."

It's amazing how far The Living Planet Aquarium has come since the time when the WMAS held meetings in their interim holding facility at SLCC. We volunteered a lot of hours in those early years.

That was the year the WMAS helped move this 3' female Nurse Shark from the tank of a Provo attorney named Dwight.  I remember the excitement of catching her head in my [sport] fishing net and holding her tail with my right hand to lift her out and place her in the ~48x16 long cooler we had bought specifically for this transport. Below is a pic of her in her new home, a 72"x72"x18" acrylic tank at the college.
