Barrie Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Its bigger than the glass thats imported so if you wanted one, it would need to have either the glass or the tank imported especially for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 D.I.Y!! What are the other dimensions?? Big steel frame with glsas or perspex pannels (or marine ply at the back) perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yup.. you are looking at a swimming pool with windows in it really :lol: You probably need to to start from the building foundation and work from there. Lay a concrete pad to support the whole thing. It could then be framed with steel, concrete or heavy timber and lined with epoxy swimming pool sealant and the windows fitted. I think it would have to be built in place? Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Are you planning on smuggling in some arapima?? :lol: I saw a couple grown ones in the US (Yay, Seaworld! Hehe) and I'd love a tank big enough for them. Afterwards I saw a couple for sale in a fish shop. Couple little babies like 6 inches long for about $100 if I remember right.

Mal Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 there are a few large glass panels down here. They must of cme out of the old aqurium in Napier. Not sure of cost but they are about 30mm - 40mm thick about 1200mm high x 4 -5 meters long. Don't quote me on this but if you are interested I could find out for you and contact numbers. Very very very heavy. Mal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
