I dont think anyone is game to post their tank after seeing that last post ahahhah.
Incredible!!!


You should not feel that way. In life, there will always be someone with a bigger, better, faster, more expensive tank, car, boat, whatever, with more bells and whistles than you have. My dream tank and fish room is a 4,000 gallon in wall system that is incredible. I look at the picture of this gorgeous tank/fish room for inspiration. I am not going to be down that my tank is so much smaller. I look at peoples beautiful planted tanks and the tanks with colorful fish, and tanks that are beautifully decorated and landscaped. I admire and appreciate the beauty of everyone's tanks. I cannot have a planted tank or a decorated tank because my demolition crew is injury prone. While my fish aren't colorful, I will continue to love their perpetual grins and their jovial dispositions. I will take great joy in watching them accelerate and swim almost twice the distance they have now before they have to turn around.

When I see pictures of other peoples tanks, I will be happy that their tanks are so beautiful and that the fish are so loved and cared for. Size does not matter. "bigger is better" is an infantile concept....that's the little kid who chooses the penny over the dime because the penny is bigger. It's what you do with what you have that really matters. we are trying to be responsible fishkeepers, doing our best to provide suitable housing for our fish.

I'll add to this thread. 108" x 48" x 40" Close to 900G going by external dimensions but I call it an 800G as that is what it actually holds.

You are a gifted artist and craftsman! I absolutely love your fiberglass tank. It's a beautiful beautiful build. Your fish are stunningly gorgeous. I've admired your pictures for a long time.

I have to ask.... How do you guys move these monsters? I have a 180 glass and it took four strong guys and beer. Roll them on furniture dollys until the final location?

Well for me, on my 180g glass, i took one end and 2 people took the other end and we carried it in and set it on the stand.

Love the tanks everyone, i sold my 230g because i didn't like the demensions and i ended up buying a 180g so i'm 20g off of this club.
 
Guys these tanks are amazing we need to keep this thread rolling glad i cought it now with only 12 pages to read rather than 112 pages that takes days to catch up lol. . i want to know how greenterra gets his tank so dark almost black but the scales on his fish are so flourescent is this the light hes using ? id do it if i knew how. . . heres my tank anyway. .
