yeah i would like to know to, the price of oil per barrell is the same everywhere.
 
i think i will build one of thes 8000g as they must be cheap to build if kids can afford it i guess pocket money isnt what it used to be.

:ROFL: That just reminded me of the part in total recall you know the part with the RRRrrrAaaaggGGllllaaAAgggLLLLLAAaaAAlllLLggGGllaaaa (i think i spelled it right) you know the eyeballs out of the head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbdP4TBopYU just watch here.

Oh yeah, i kinda believe you about the pond, ponds arent that hard to install but what kind of container is it. Just make sure you wash it out with dish soap in the driveway you nenver know what it may have had in it and rinse it good too. and dont have it near any trees, cleaning out leaves is a crappy task.

I think this thread is about a PLAN to make a 8000G tank. What happened in this thread is that all the members got excited and all hyped up because it looks like a big undertaking and like all members of this forum, we love huge tanks.

This first time I knew of this thread i knew that it will not materialize in the near future. An example is the thread about the 24 foot tank in an office space that took about two years (maybe more) before the forum was updated will completed photos. Everyone was so hyped up for more photos and asking for updates here and there. At least the tank was completed and finished photos was shown. This case might be different though. Its an individual which is still under the mercy of mom and dad.

In my opinion, this tank will not materialize. Its a hype maker. He already mentioned that he will not push through with the tank at the moment but got will get a FREE pond instead. The question is when will he make the tank he asked opinions about???

Nobody knows.

When someone wants something and got the means to obtain that something, one usually gets it done as fast as possible without compromising safety and quality of the work done. Hell, I even have dreams of just getting a bigger tank and can't stop talking about it to my brothers and sister. But eventually, you feel an itch in you and a sense of urgency to get a hold of you have been aiming for.

In this case, its a drawing, a plan, that's it.

Maybe this thread can re-appear when he already have the means to actually do this undertaking.

Nicely stated. I'm STILL working on mine....it's been about two years now (look through my posts). Thing still leaks...I may have a fabricator weld an aluminum frame for it. If I need to sell it with the house, oh well! (3 bedroom 1.5 bath with fireplace and an ALL GLASS JACUZZI!!!!!! hmmm.....might help me sell the place now that you think about it!)

It's all about time and money...I also have a Dakota 5.9 R/T that's begging for my attention. Hey....why don't one of you hit the lotto and float me some cash? :naughty:
 
i just spend 1/2 hour..............how about you find out how much pressure 8000 gallons exudes on a flat surface, then cross reference this information with the plexi glass rating, then step up the thickness just for safety. then take a picture and then pm every single person who read this thread. thank you have a nice day
