Most EXTREME Tanks

[adpgibso]

So here we all are, gazing at our tanks that are probably anywhere from 55-180 gallons in most of our cases--but of course we ALL are guilty of thinking about that "dream tank." Of course due to their sheer size, we wouldn't want the chore of taking care of that huge body of water, but our imaginations are free to take their courses. I wanted to start a thread for all the dreamers, imaginers, mystics, reefers, and plain crazy people our there (including myself) that always yearn for another piece to the puzzle, another gallon or two of water to work with. So go ahead, post your dream tank ideas-post pictures of the most outrageous tanks you've ever witnessed or seen-even post the biggest ones here on Reef Central. Finally a thread where our imaginations can run free...and the wishlists can get bigger and bigger. Post Away!

Thanks!

I think in that one, Earl, we're the critters in the box. I love the second picture in the first post.
I've got to find the pic of what I'd like someday....

That isn't the Stingray reef is it? Can you post a link?

This was posted in another thread by gwalker and I really like their idea on a 'wet bar'. Although the fake reef stuff would make lighting easier and simplify the setup, I'm afraid it would have to go.

I can't find the link right now but there is a home in California that has a tank built into the wall of a swimming pool. You look through the tank and into the pool! If anyone knows of this link, please post. I'll keep looking.

I found a couple of links. But there are better pictures somewhere on the web.
