building your own tank.....

LOL
picture this:
my freind (thinks he's bob villa or something) is sure he can make an acrylic tank (something i admit to knowing nothing of....tank building that is...).
he makes the acrylic tank,and i think he said it was something around 120 gallons.im not sure how he did it,but the sucker holds water for two months and then on superbowl sunday (2005) they all decide to turn up the bass on his new sound system......
CRASH (or whatever noise an acrylic tank busting makes...ill call it "crash")

(that was the seventeen of us)
to make matters worse, IMHO, the living room was hard wood floor.the water hit that and immediately went every where else....the kitchen first,then down the hall and under the door into the loundry room, bathroom,down the basement stairs and such,it was a mess.poor fishies.... i cant remmeber now what they were,something big.

Thats too funny, did he reinforce his tank or did he just make a box with the acrylic?? that would sooooo suck!

lucky you

for being there while it happened?yeah i guess so......i snuck out the back and went home using the comotion for cover.im not sure what he did or didnt do to the tank becouse i know nothing of building tanks and he knows that so he spared me the technicalities.the bass was really loud though.i think he had a mackie 12" that cost about $1,200......but that got a little wet,lol.
