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.
