    i know huh..dont get me wrong i would kill to have a huge tank and will have one when i graduate, but i couldnt imagine the money this guy has in it, and the costs of keeping it up..i never complain about funds in this hobby for me, but that has to cost a fortune..

    20yrs ago when I was into salt and had fish only. There was a mag I used to buy and there was a company that made tanks like that and bigger just pick up the phone, whip out the visa and It was yours.Always wanted one still have same house plan to move in 5yrs and that is on my bucket list. It isn't the fact that you have a 300-500 gallon tank its the wow damn factor. Super nice grats to him.

    yeah tanks like that are nice to look at but I would never want the responsibility of actually owning one. It would be to the point where I'd have to pay someone to upkeep the thing & that's no fun. Like my LFS guys maintain so many gigantic tanks and the owners never know the true accomplishment of doing/sustaining something yourself, just old rich yuppies.

    Truly a sweet tank, I wonder if he does the upkeep on it or if he has a professional to do the work...
