awesome cabinet!
Thanks Jon. It took Greg a bit of effort to find the aluminum for the job. He said he had not done anything like this prior.

Jesse, you can stop by whenever I here. Give me a call.
 
Looks great Ian! I really like the skin on the stand. Sorry if you covered this already, but is there any particular reason you went with sand this time?

Just look at all that real estate! I'm a tiny bit jealous! ;) Can't wait to see it in person "one of these days".
Thanks John. If you are going to be in the area (Berkeley), feel free to give me a call.

I just wanted the look of sand this time. No other reason. For me bare bottom is much easier maintenance wise, however I was willing to sacrifice that for the way it looks.

Very clean look Ian.
+1 on the sand...looks more natural.

99% of all reef photos I have ever seen have zero sand in them. This is also what all divers I have spoken with say as well.
 
99% of all people think of Sherlock Holmes having a pipe and a hat... (ok I made that number up) peoples perception of reality doesn't always follow with the reality of reality.

Well, yes. But how many of those photos had a big flat shiny reflective pane of glass for the bottom?
:p

Seriously though, it depends a lot on diving versus snorkeling, and where you go.
A LOT of people, including me with a small kid, mostly snorkel in the more protected lagoon areas, or inlets/etc.
As such, it is often white sand with various coral outcroppings.

Either sand or live rock on the bottom would be "natural" substrate in my mind.

I'll take it further. 99% of all people haven't seen the ocean floor.... Presently, I got sand storm and I think it is au natural, lol.
Anywa, beautiful collection in a great looking tank, just wish I can put my fish in your tank.
