Home 20,000 Gallon Reef Tank, 75,000L - COOLEST THING I'VE EVER MADE: EP5

Bill Wann designed this entire 20,000 gallon reef tank himself. From the filters to the pumps, he built everything at home in his shop. The tank is so large, that the only way to clean is jump in with scuba gear. As he describes it “The Coolest Thing I’ve Ever Made”.

Fertilizing the eggs himself was a huge problem.

Joey is another kind of King of DIY and only deals with fishkeeping. BTW, Joey is showing how to build stuff instead of "I built this, it's so cool."

Even if this guy would explain how he build it you wouldnt understand how to. Joey keeps it low and easy

Impressive that someone can design and build everything on his own. Respect is on it's place.

Amazing, cost: $500-$700K, as a DIY; prolly 2-3x, or more, if the job was outsourced. What a genius, what a system

[@nonyabusi1132]

Many with mega tanks enjoy the science, mechanics, biology, technology, planning and challenges as much as if not more than the actual fish and invertebrates. It's this huge challenge to them as well as something very few others have as well as a status symbol. Beautiful aquarium. Thanks for sharing.
