Bigest tank

[forsure]

The biggest I have seen at a LFS was for sale. It was 256 gallons all-glass aquarium.

The biggest tank ever was a coral/sw tank at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. It was at least 200 feet long, 40 feet high, and 60 feet wide. Massive, it even has bleachers along it to watch it for hours. It had a giant sea turtle in it, thousands of fish. Some like a square yard in area.

They also had an open air Manatee tank with many florida native fishes.

thats nothing!!! when i was doing work experience in year 10 i went to the sydney aquarium and they said to me you can either feed the fry,tank maintinence,or clean the glass i picked maintinence so i could go in the water and it took me hours to do the area i was told too do mainly cause i was to busy playing with the sharks and turtles but when i saw the angle shark thats when i wanted out that was huge and UGLY:shake: :shake:

Just thought I would share my current 770gallon aquarium project

The front viewing room it's going into

Behind the wall is the actual tank room the tank and equipment will reside:

I have more pix on this at www.twize.com
Hope to have more time over Christmas vacation to get everything ready to move it in the house before the new year.


Thanks

Dean,
I have toyed with the thought of putting several hundred neon tetras if I didn't go salt water ...definitely save me some $$$$'s in the equipment phase of this project for sure

Thanks for the kind comments, btw what does the kowtow tag do/mean?


Thanks

 

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Twize,

You're welcome. The tag doesn't "do" anything htlm-wize. Just threw it in there as a way to show my "virtual kowtow" (touching of forehead to ground in great reverence of your awesome fishy project).

BTW - I'd go for the several hundred neon tetras, or harlequin raspboras, but hey I'm kinda weird that way.

Yeah i can just imagine them moving like a huge school of herring would in the ocean, all at one like a giant neon shiny mass
