minchton Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 A few days ago there was a Tom Scott cartoon in our local paper about a research station in wellington. Do any of you know if the resource application for this station was approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suphew Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Last I heard they were going to start the resource consent process again. One of the panel wasn't able to make it so no agreement was made, and with how the system is setup it's easier to start the process again, rather than get a non-agreement changed. It was proberly 6 months ago I heard this so I don't know what has happened since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Not too sure what's happening now. The FNZAS added it's support for the project although we are generally concerned about the name they've chosen. Aquarium of New Zealand is just too much like The National Aquarium of New Zealand. Sounds like they've trying to piggyback off the National Aquarium in Napier... Appart from the name issue it's a great project. I'm sure they will keep us posted as new events come to light.

suphew Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Nice! Are you able to give us an idea what something like that would cost joe public to buy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Man Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Well firstly, I can't take all the credit for this tank. It was sourced from a japanese company but some one screwed up and forgot to order it with the bottom in it :oops: hence where I come into it . A tank of this size manufactured by us would be between $8 to 9K approximately depening on material thickness etc. Tank Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hmm, my philosophy exactly. Now if only I had lots of money not to take with me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Man Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Warren - I'd give you a job sweeping my work shop for extra pocket money but the temptation for you to try and slide out with one of my tanks would be too great We review the security cams every time you leave by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Man Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Oh forgot to mention too, the Wellington International Air Port is getting a nice new big fish tank as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
