i would have bought them and put them in my backyard till i had room man that would be awesome
Yeah, I would have bought one of the robot fish to put in my tank, but once they got the mechanics working, they didn't develop the robots because some english or maybe japanese people beat them to it.
 
my dream would be a 32 ft long x 6 foot wide x 4 maybe 5 foot deep. I would never be able to afford that, and care of it would be a full time job I'd guess.
Short term goal is a glass somewhere between a 180 Gal Wide 72 x 24 x 25 for $440 or 240 wide 72 x 30 x 25 tall for $670, maybe a 240 -5 wide 60 x 36 x 25 tall for $660. If I decide on Acrylic, then 180 wide 72 x 24 x 25 for $600 or 240 long 96 x 24 x 25 tall for $800. Sizes and prices per Glasscages.com and over flow and stuff is extra.
long term dream is 500 -8 wide 96x 48 x 25 tall it list for $2000, but I'll have to get alot more expendable income as my wife tells me. 25 to 30 is about as deep as I can clean with out alot of extra effort.
 
well if the house get s to keep it it could be as big as your pockets are deep

to have a tank you can move with you i would say 8'x2'x2' because anything bigger will not fit through the door or around any corners.

i had a sofa we had to bring over the second floor balcony because it wouldnt fit through the door then around the corner and it is only like a foot longer than a reg sofa. an sofas wont break or leak.
 
Wow, talk about sinking to the bottom (and floating to the surface after five months...)

Since this thread is back up...and being the first time that I have seen it, here goes:

My dream tank involves my dream house (likely retirement house). A two story house where you walk into an oversized foyer to be greeted by an octogonal/rectangular tank stretching toward the ceiling. Above the foyer would be an equally sized sitting area with a raised section in the floor that is open to the tank below...like looking at a pond.
 
I wanna buy the Deep in Hull:)
 
I would want custom tank that would be in a U shape so that i would have a couch against one wall with that tank above it will connecting to 2 large tanks on both sides which would be atleast 3-4 feet wide and probably 3-4 feet tall each section about 10-15 feet long. This would not be a one pice aquarium probably a plywood with many windows or a cement with many windows and a huge filtration system. Anyone know a petstore going out of businness:cool-1: :cool-1: :cool-1: :cool-1:
