Ira Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 We've been using about $200 in power every month and only about $20-30 of that is the tanks. If I had a few grand laying around and wasn't on tank water I'd definitely consider buying it off you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 No worries, we all make little blunders from time-to-time. At least I got the engineering part right. Maybe I'll make another big'n once I have my own place, - all settled in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Can't you throw it in storage somewhere? It'd be a shame to sell it to just anyone if you can't find a good home for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 If the place thats looking at buying it at the moment comes thru, it will be going to a very good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't work out, try talking to Daniel Giles of the PNAS club. Since his 10 footer broke he's been in the market for another big tank and *really* liked yours I suspect he wouldn't be as keen to pay big dollars as your first option though Keep me in mind for any killies (or other fish for that matter) you may want to get rid of, if you cut down your fishroom. Mine still isn't built but I hope to attack it Real Soon Now. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Don't worry, I'm not cutting back that much. I'll still have all the Killies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Big Tank update. Its been sold. The new owner is the National Aquarium of New Zealand. Didn't I say it was going to a good home? I'll still be able to visit it regularly to see how its hanging together. I beleive at this stage the long term plan is to put the South American Cichlids into it. That of course may change. I hope its Discus they mean. Then it will be getting used for what it was originally designed for, - a planted Discus tank with 30-35 Discus, - cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yes, finished moving last weekend. All tanks up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Have the aquarium got the 'warren's tank' up n running with somebeautiful DISCUS in ..............Ira should get a free pass just to see ROFL. Seriously though I hope they put discus in it - the Blue of the frame would really compliment the discus colours. and they would look so serene in it planted and landscaped with wood much as their native habitat is.

gerald Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi Warren I have a douth in the thickness calculator, can you explain why are there two diferent thickness according to the calculator. Glass Thickness Calculator Height 1000 mm Length 3000 mm Safety 3.8 Thickness 27.06 mm Bending 0.49 mm Glass Safety Factor Height 1000 mm Width 3000 mm Is this right meansure Thickness 19 mm Safety 1.873297297 Warren If I want a safety factor 3.8 a I just rise o lower the thickness in the space of 19 mm Does the thickness 19 mm means the glass to use in the tank which thickness I will need 27.06 mm or 19 mm Tks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 The glass thickness part of the calculator works out the required thickness for the safety factor you want. The safety factor part is useful to work out how safe existing tanks are. So for a safety factor of 3.8, you need 27mm glass... You choose the safety factor you want and change that value. The thickness result will be calculated for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
