his wife musta said no

Maybe it wouldn't fit through any of the doors in his house or weighs too much, the water alone would be over 10,000 lbs....5 tons!!!!!!! On that footprint I don't know if the concrete slab in a basement would support that weight.

I was hoping for something a little bigger...

This is an aquarium service whose customer backed out before install. Hope he got a good deposit!

 

[toddnbecka]

Over $30,000 less than the original price, what a deal! Even if I had somewhere to set it up I doubt I'd be able to afford to stock it after the divorce. Not even a new diamond ring would let that one slip past...

I really want the tank that Scotty built in Star Trek 4 to ship a pair of whales on the Klingon Bird of Prey star ship...that had to be bigger than this.

How much poret would it take to filter that tank though? :lol:

 

[Pat Kelly]

Wow,
Where is Li.
He could use his 600 as the sump. LOL

Hmm..It won't fit in my house now.

I wonder how long it will take to build an addition with doors that are 4ft wide?

 

[F8LBITE]

wow how awesome would that be.

 

[bschuhart]

I wish I had about $20K...lottery? I would put it in my basement family room as a room divider, it would fit under a existing bulk head and I would finish the wall out with a 3' x 5' mechanical closet for the filtration...

This is the time to do it beacause I'm replacing the sliding door that goes from outside into that room (6ft wide , plenty of room).

Oh....that was my dream last night....Oh well

 

[Pat Kelly]

Size would be a problem for me too.
I can get it in the house but cant get it to the basement. Oh well.

Not sure if you guys have seen this, almost as good as what Scotty built....

Great article. Made me realize I'd never want to tackle a project of that magnitude.

 

[Spine]

Lol, did you see how many buckets of salt he had. That much salt,your whole house would rust!!

 

[longstocking]

If you are going that big... just do a pond you can snorkle in :lol:

I had a chance 3 years ago to get a 1k tank for free, complete saltwater setup. It wouldn't fit through the door so I had to pass. Sometimes CL is the lottery.
