GZ_Loach Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 It looks like crap tbh, no design or creativity at all :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Its an epic tank; the guy is disabled and funded this project out of his life's savings. Heaps of stuff on mfk about it, been around for a while now. Has Arapaima in it :thup: :nfs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Imagine it full of diff tetra schools, discus, angels, corys, loaches, hatchets ...... and a massive planted layout :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I followed it a few years ago and lost interest pretty quick, its basically a concrete fish prison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the new guy Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Imagine it full of diff tetra schools, discus, angels, corys, loaches, hatchets ...... and a massive planted layout :slfg: that would be awesome. yes i have found that alot of these massive aquirums that i have seen are basically just massive block buildings with glass fronts and no creativity but i thought it was amazing having something that size in your basement.

phoenix44 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I see the appeal of having large fish. But I personally want a tank to look pretty; have substrate, plants, good lights and a good mix of fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Poor fishies, that must be so boring for them, they're still too big for it. Could be a fricken awesome with some plants and smaller fish though !drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GZ_Loach Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have a picture of a massive planted public aquarium in one of my fish books, can't see much but it looks epic. What they didn't show you in the video was a guy in an inflatable boat doing some cleaning lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GZ_Loach Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 The guy had big issues trying to keep the water clear, I don't think lighting was very high on his list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the new guy Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 The guy had big issues trying to keep the water clear, I don't think lighting was very high on his list i cant actually find much information on it. do you know where i can find some more info? i also found this tank: http://animal.discovery.com/videos/most-outrageous-largest-home-aquarium.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Its on monsterfishkeepers site, its been a few years since I've seen it, try searching "50000 gallon tank" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I followed it a few years ago and lost interest pretty quick, its basically a concrete fish prison it's alot better than our glass ones. that tank is epic, just needs a few details & time IMO.

Jaxxnz Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 i was searching around on the internet for "the worlds largest private aqurium" and i found this. its rather AMAZING! If I have a tank that big i would spent all my weekend days diving in it! :happy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I've always thought a tank should be like you've taken a slice of a river/lake and put it in your living room. As someone else said, that just looks like a concrete fish prison. Aren't Arapiama like highly protected? how did he manage to get his hands on some?

As someone else said, that just looks like a concrete fish prison. Aren't Arapiama like highly protected? how did he manage to get his hands on some? Probably from a fish store. I've seen a tank full of 4-5" long ones in Cali. I think think they were $15 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrudd Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I would fill it with lots of small schools and then add a couple of super nice plecos and I would go diving to handfeed them everyday :love: I dream often of swimming around with my fish, it would be a dream come true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 It would be so much easier to arrange the tank if you could swim in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
