Awesome looking tank build!
I just have to ask though.....
Is there some irony in having a reef tank at a sushi bar?

patmack · 02/06/2011, 09:34 PM

Nice choice on the skimmer. I have one on my 210. It can be really finicky... Going to get Vortechs?

Neogenocide · 02/06/2011, 10:19 PM

Looks like a nice build...can't wait to see this one come together. Oh ya....and yet another Reefer from Findlay tuning in....lol

chewie we need some updates! How are things coming along?

Reefnut2010 · 03/06/2011, 01:10 PM

Looking real nice, so far. How did the tank come out?

muttley000 · 06/12/2011, 05:43 PM

chewieee, Are there any updates? I want to come see this and have dinner when it's done

chewieee · 01/21/2012, 04:12 PM

I believe its been close to a year since i commented on this post. The tank is doing great and has been running for about 13 months or so. I will try and post more pics, here is a full tank shot.

Made4water · 01/21/2012, 08:07 PM

Your raw bar platter earlier in the thread made me hungry. Hadn't had dinner yet. Nice tank by the way.

TheFishTeen · 01/21/2012, 08:54 PM

Lovin the Naso. Are your overflows loud?

chewieee · 01/21/2012, 11:38 PM

There not loud at all. But if they were in a living room i suppose they may be considered a bit loud. In a restaurant atmosphere you do not notice it at all

muttley000 · 01/22/2012, 09:20 AM

Looking great! How have your customers reacted?

chewieee · 01/22/2012, 10:36 AM

Customer reactions are amazing, its begun to draw a crowd. The best seat in the house is the center of the bar, looks straight on to the middle of the tank. There always seems to be someone sitting there! People leaving the main dining room have to pass by the bar on there way out, and it always catches there eye and have to stop and look.

chewieee · 03/02/2016, 09:42 PM

Haven't been around in years, here is a update look

biecacka · 03/03/2016, 03:34 PM

Awesome looking set up man. Glad it's still running

muttley000 · 03/25/2016, 08:22 PM

Wow a blast from the past! glad you updated it!

chewieee · 12/09/2018, 12:37 AM

Wow it has been six years since i have posted to this thread. In that time i have sold the restaurant as of July 2018. Anyone who may have been interested in this build i am so sorry for the lack of updates. I have moved 5 years ago to a new house and have started my dream build. I am currently building a 150g Aggressive with a 40g Frag tank and a 180 mixed reef display tank. I am currently working on a thread for that build in which i have been compiling pictured for years. Anyways here is the last pics i have of the 300g gallon tank at the restaurant. Thank you for following

Your Fellow Reefer.
