I was just talking with my wife the other day about getting a tank going again, probably doing salt water this time.
I'll get in touch with a friend of mine to get myself set up as he knows his shit with this stuff and has the most amazing set up I've seen.
He's got a 300 or so gallon tank with large lines running to the basement. He had the house built to accommodate the weight of the tank in that spot too.
The lines go down to a 55 gallon tank that has the water pass thru different filter media and also a converted dialysis machine (or something to that effect, it's been awhile) controls the salt content. the line going back up also has a bypass with a control valve on it. The bypass runs thru on of his AC ducts and acts as a controlled heat exchanger and helps keep the tank cooled if needed.
In the tank itself, some device at the top makes waves and between that and the lighting, it mimics the daylight/nighttime cycles and even does an occasion storm.
My favorite thing he has in the tank is this evil shrimp that will attack anything that comes near it. 

Obviously I won't go as complex (or expensive) as he did but I'd like to get something going again.

id love to see some pics of it when you do

OK, now I'm bummed - my 55 gallon saltwater tank is a bowfront, and sorta hard to get a good clear shot of. The few pics I have are apparently years old judging by the coral growth.

There's lots more going on in there now. I'll have to try again later when the lights are on.

Please get video of the evil shrimp..

between his and my heavy workload and the fact he lives about 100 miles away we never get together but when we next do, I'll be sure to take pictures.
I'm sure he wouldn't mind me bragging on his behalf.

I, too, would love to see the evil shrimp.

For I have had several, and none could be described as evil. I can't even imagine - short of one having "lasers" attached.
