Very interesting - thanks for sharing!
I guess the "upscale" folks are now catching on to the beauty of our hobby - their tanks are really upscale too!!

Did you happen to notice there are no supports under the tank!!   :o :o  700 gallons hanging (I figure) from the ceiling.  Freaky.

I also wish they would have shown the walk-in closet filtration system.

Very cool.

I noticed that as well.  Thats CRAZY... No wonder the tank cost $200,000+ to build.  they had to hire an Engineer to design the thing first I bet!
