Have fun with the mag cleaners. The ones that are big enough to do a tank like that run $400 or more.

Dude you'd need a gigantic magnet cleaner custom made and it wouldn't be efficent. :ROFL: Even the largest ones(professional ones) made are like 200.00 a peice and no bigger than my hand probably.
They come much bigger than your hand, or your a giant. :ROFL:

Also, I'd love to know how you intend to afford the $1000 moving cost (roughly expect 1/4 of a mobile home movers cost), the minimum of $2000 filtration, the heater of a couple hundred, the water bill, the electric bill, and where will you drain the tank during water changes. A surge of more than 1000 gallons is enough to have your water department knocking.
Now answer these questions.

Opps.. biggest one I've ever seen was this model.. thought it was the biggest they made and was :WHOA: because it wasn't removable from the case you buy it in without a screwdriver.

Even still I think with a monster mag float it would take you a while..
 
Biggest one I've seen is able to do 3 inch glass, but if the two parts get stuck together without something in between, you have to ship it back to have it separated (oops).

1. il pay 4 it, i got the money.
2. i dont get it, do u mean the filter costs that much or what.
3. "the heater of a couple hundred" wtf, make it more clear.
4. parents will pay 4 it.
5. same as #4.
6. slowely down the street, or in the back yard.

any more questions, il be happy to answer.
 
You clearly have not even put merely enough thought into a project of this size. Even for the more advanced and experienced aquarists getting a project set up like this would take a few months, possible even a year to ensure everything was in place. You are way out of your league here bud.

Doesn't work like that. A filtration system for a tank like that will run you $2000 or more. A heater will run you a couple hundred or more. Your parents won't pay for that much water, and that much electricity. Slowly, will take you several days to do a water change, and the more important thing is the water going into the tank. Also, if you do it down the street, then your neighbors will complain, and the water company will still come knocking. Have you checked your local ordinances? It is likely that you will need a permit for something that big, if it is even allowed.

Honestly I think that sums what I think and others think.. Not trying to be harsh. But you don't get it. Even with all the money in the world it's a major undertaking for a tank like that. And you'd have to be really really financially stable to afford the monthly bill. And wyld didn't even add in a food bill for fish that would be in there..

And IMO the dimensions suck..
