Look at this big grouper. Probably ate all someone's fish and then returned to the store... Sharky is about 20" or so?

@Lowell Lemon it's at Bob's. I stopped by to see if he can order a big tank for me and yes of course he can. Going that route for sure.

Congrats , What size ? acrylic ?

8' x 4' x 2' out of 1" acrylic. I had a few bubbles so I kept it and sent money back to the customer. Nothing structural just cosmetic on the top. Not sure what I will do with it yet. May cut top off and redo it or just sell it as is.

Honestly like anything in life whatever you can sell it for hahaha. Seriously, about $6500.00 is what I was selling it for.

It is drilled for a coast to coast end overflow that Modular Marine made for the customer.

Daaaannnggggg. Me thinks it'll cripple my house. That bad boy needs support this ol house will never have.

However, if we ever build something ourselves, which we talk about all the time, we're doing a shop house with concrete so I can't say "never", right?

Gonna be boring and go with a glass aqueon reef ready 125. The bigger ones were all 29.5" high and since I'm small I'd be swimming too often. Whole arm, shoulder, armpit, neck to ear sounded like I might not pick up something that fell over, or other maintenance since getting so drenched would be a pain. I know it would look so cool being so tall but I think this is smarter long term.

Also just asked my lfs if they can get big tanks and of course he can, why didn't I think it wasn't possible? I'm dumb.

Plus side I love supporting my lfs. If it weren't for this store I wouldn't have ever started reefing.

@Lowell Lemon, Bobby is awesome, he's been a great asset for me and very helpful and willing to order just about anything I need. We shop there weekly, not only for the tanks, but my pup and gecko too. I've been going to their store since I was a kid, at least a good 25 years. Bob's Pet and Pond, great mom and pop local store. Maybe not the best the whole country wide, but definitely the best for this area.
