I hope that you are too!!!LowCel;3082441; said:I was just thinking about the "it's all relative" thing. Being from WV I can certainly relate to that.
More on topic though, it really does depend on the owner / viewer. I have told people about my tanks but they usually have no concept of tank size. When they come in my house the first thing they see once they come down the stairs is my 55 gallon tank. You would be amazed at how many people think it is huge. Once I casually lead them to the dining room and see the 210 and 300 their jaws just drop.
you should see them when they walk through a doorway in my basement and they see my 1200. next to a 90 sump and a 150 tall tank. lmfaoooooo they look like they just sharted a little in there pants. lmfaooooooooooo. monster isnt what you got, its what you make of what you got, how you represent the hobby, and whether or not you do what needs to be done to house your "monster fish". if you buy an oscar and through him in a 29 thats not monster. if you buy an oscar and grow him out in a 29 and buy him a 75 or a 90, thats monster.
my mother nearly had a heart attack when she saw the stand for my 150 gallon at my house. she hadn't even seen the tank yet and she was freaking out lol - saying she was glad I had my own house cause she'd never let my Dad have a tank that big at their house LOL.
I think if your loved ones go into cardiac arrest when they see how big your tank/stand is, that qualiifes

man, that's nuts!
my wife just about flipped when she saw how much space our 300g took up in our living room...
i think tank setup also has a big significance in considering it monster
imagine a 500 gal tank or bigger with no setup its still not that monster

TANK SIZE determines "Monster Tank". I think any tank that can house a monster fish comfortably can be called a monster tank. A 500 gallon tank with NEONS is still considered a monster tank to me and a 20g tank with a pbass in it isn't a monster tank.
Unless you consider the monster that would do that to a pbass. Monster a******, that is. Unless it's a grow out tank of course.patatmblife;3084419; said:
