Ive seen many "sky's the limit" type tanks that people have built over the years, people have spent millions of dollars but no one has ever made what I consider the ultimate ultimate fish room.

What Im imagining is a room shaped like a penta, hexa or octagon, and each wall is glass, so that the tank is a giant ring around the room. This way, the whole room is surrounded by glass, water and fish. Imagine the atmosphere, in my opinion, it blows any other monster tank out of the water. Just imagine the possibilities with giant pimas, gar and catfish surrounding and encircling you as you are now a guest in their domain.

Its literally the difference between a flat screen and a 3d interactive experience.

So how come no one has ever built a tank this cool? Is it just because no one so far with the means to do it has had my imagination? Is it just Murphy's law that people with true vision rarely have the cash to see them through?

Ive seen it, its pretty amazing. But as big as it is, it does not encircle a room. In the ultimate room, the tank is all around you while you have a cocktail party surrounded by curious monsters.
 
Hey Oscarum I had the same vision...being a "guest in their domain"...so i got a SCUBA certification...its the ultimate and a whole lot cheaper :)
