OMG!! AshDavid...Your own thread...you have to get it!!
You would let the filter hold you back???
Do you know Mr Amano? Maybe he would come over and personally design the aquascape for you.

I guess you have to truck it to the west coast, and then put it in one of these shipping containers. Going to be a long trip. But, the shipping containers are big enough. You might be able to put it in the container in NY and put it on a train to the west coast doc.
As for the negotiations, can you say jewelry
Container Dimensions and Capacity
Containers intended for intercontinental use have external nominal dimensions of:
Length ----- 9.8125 feet (2.991m) as 10 feet;
19.875 feet (6.058m) as 20 feet;
29.9375 feet (9.125m) as 30 feet; and
40 feet (12.192m)
Width ----- 8 feet (2.438m)
Height ----- 8.5 feet (2.591m) and
9.5 feet (2.896m)
All above dimensions have permissible tolerances.
The 20 feet (20') and 40 feet (40') containers are very popular in ocean freight. The 8.5 feet (8.5') high container---8 feet 6 inches (8' 6") high container---is often referred to as standard container.
The demand for the high cube container---hicube---is increasing. The popular high cube container has a normal height of 9.5 feet (9.5' or 9' 6").
There are half height containers (4.25' or 4' 3" high) designed for heavy loads such as steel rods and ingots, which absorb the weight limit in half the normal space.
The most widely used type of container is the general purpose (dry cargo) container (please see Container Classifications) having a nominal length and height of 20' x 8.5', 40' x 8.5', and 40' x 9.5'. Referring to the Dimension of General Purpose Containers below, the dimensions shown in the table are not fixed, that is, the external and internal dimensions may vary among containers of the same length and height.
The container capacity is the total cube a container can accommodate. The term cube often refers to the cubic measurement of cargo. The capacity (i.e., the internal volume) is determined by multiplying the internal dimensions, that is, the product of internal length, width and height. The capacity may vary among containers of the same length and height.

Ash... what do you do for a living?
I want the money for a 10,000 gallon tank
World's largest tank of mollies!

Sorry people its a no go. They are asking a lot more than whats been advertised, also the shipping looks like it is going to be a nightmare ,plus very expensive. I am thinking that I will have to organise a crane to lift it into place which is hardly pratical here in Japan where I live, but not impossible ,but after talking to the engineer that built my first tank he convinced me that it would be easier and cheaper to have one built on site, so I think I will go with my original plan of having a 10,000g plus tank built for me, plus I will have the flexability to decide on the dimensions. Everyone will just have to wait a few years while I get everything sorted out. Sorry.
Awww...that's bogus. The nice price was to suck people in?ashdavid said:
No wonder there are no bids on it.
