:headbang2 How freeking cool is this? As a DIY whay would this cost roughly? This is what I would stock it with!I would like to build a tank like this one! I would have some killer underwater lighting or atleast better than what this tank has. I would keep it amazon! Put in a couple of Aro's, a TSN, RTC, a Jaguar, and couple of oscars Maybe lots of other fish! Being that its 2 paynes of glass how hard would this be to do? Or even on a little bigger scale?:headbang2

Im not quite sure. I foun it while lookin for the people who design and build custom tanks for Cabellas Outdoor store. I wen to the manufactures site and looked at some of their work.:popcorn:
 
Speaking of outdoor stores, I had a Gander (Mountain) open down the street from me. (thought it was an Outdoor World). They had the worlds quietest grand opening...they are open, didn't anounce it, and they don't advertise. Weird.

And that crab tank freaks me out. I love crab legs; got six pounds in the freezer...When they are alive they look too much like spiders :nilly:

And that first tank looks like an archer tank. Half full and branches & vines hanging over it.
 
I really want to make a tank like the first pic! I just dont know where to start in a project of this size. Would I have to use steel beams to support the weight berring down on the walls and fill the gaps with cement? what about glass what thickness would it have to be and what would it cost? I would want to make it much deeper but keep the look with the cement tree in the middle with vines and such.
 
I know quite a few people with tanks like this.

Biggest is 1600g.
 
That whole set up is very like the stuff they have at Deep Sea World not far from me, north of Edinburgh. Google it and you'll see what I mean!
