hmmm...thats really interesting. I had no ide thats how these tanks were made....does thrat comprimise the structural integrity of the tank?

:reading:

Not in the least.. Hence the 1" think acrylic or better tho

Seaming an acrylic panel, the seamed joint is actually "Stronger" then the rest of the sheet..

you wouldn't be able to do it justice.. Can you image the LR bill alone.. Even @ wholesale pricing.. say, $1 a lb.. It would still be $8000 worth of rock.. That's just insane.. Then the lighting.. Then you'd have to stock it.. You'd go broke.

lol... like I'm not going broke now...
The Tuna tank at the Monterey aq is seamed panels like 8 inches thick--- making the viewing window something around 15 ft high and 50 ft long--- it's an amazing slab o' plexi... I recommend seeing it. A million gallons and not ONE Lawnmower Blenny... man...

Plus that WHOLE tank is tiled in deep blue 1" tiles!!!!! That place simply drips money. I have a few buddies that work there. Incredible place.

amazing! Keep it up

First off id hate to have that leak, 2nd how much did it cost for that setup?

 

[rppvt]

You might have missed the general consensus being that it would be a bit too much to ask the price, as Jamesurq is not in a position to want to reveal that much. So we've mostly just oohed and awed and enjoyed the ride, with questions limited to science and construction.

 

[javatech]

Never ask a woman her age, and never ask what some one spent on there tank

 

[Nano Chris]

I know i has to be too much, and i cant afford something like that, thats all i know lol.

That tank BETTER bring in people by itself (and not just the fish fanatics), aside from the initial cost, the cost of maintaining it and paying electricity bills will be staggering!

<The 2500MG Ozone Generator and Controller:

i can swear that looks like my octopus controler

 

[Jamesurq]

yep. Sure is.

They re-badge it and mount it to their Ozone generator.

Just like they rebadge the Baldor pumps with their name.

 

[thesaent14]

[corivus]
