[jmccown]

[LduToit]

Who is mr happy?

[clekchau]

what are the dimensions of that beast?

[ruiny]

Is that salt water?

[StunnaShadez]

that is one eff'n big tank

[OnlyCrimson]

Either a bead or sand filter. Hmmmm this looks like an interesting project. please keep it updated

[EWC88]

OMG that is huge....and I can say yes that is pool equipment for that tank

[cutnup]

yes it is a sand filter. the sump is not hooked up yet. it is saltwater. ill have to take some more pics of the other pumps and get the dimensions of the tank. in the 2nd pic you can see a big damsel. and as you can see the sand isnt even in there yet its just laying in bags. thats it for now i will get more pics and answer as many questions for you as i can.

[Alphabet]

damsel? did I miss it? Very nice project, can't wait to see more pics. Thanks for sharing!

[spooda420]

he should put gold fish in that pool.

[Scottkelly911]

Ok, I'm along for the ride. keep us posted. What are the plans going to be for it? Giant reef or is it going to be a fish only tank ?

[Bret61081]

[cutnup]

the store is in fort pierce (the-fishtore.com) dimensions are (i think) 14 foot circle 4 1/2 foot deep. ill have more pics of the other eqipment and what the plans are going to be on tuesday (might be reef might be sharks we'll see.

[sharklover]

If the guy does sharks let me know. I've got sources for nice stuff you don't usually see offered in the trade.

[cutnup]

I'll let you know. more pics and questions answered tuesday night.

[Bret61081]

the water was cloudy when the owner of this tank was emptying bags i tried to get a picture of him scuba diving in the tank but my batteries ran out (damn rayovaks should have bought duracell) funny picture though. well thats it for now. does anyone know where we can get some very large porous base rock?

[cutnup]

sorry forgot to resize the pictures

[cutnup]

brett yes this store is open pm me if you want directions from I95

[cutnup]

sorry its been a while (it takes a long time for 2 tons of sand to clear up) theres is only about 3 feet of visibility and they just started to plumb up the real pumps that are going to runs this beast, also they ordered 25 lookdowns they are a cool schooling fish. ill maybe have some pics next week when the water clears up. well thats all the update for now. take it easy

[DouglasTiede]

Along for the ride on this one, please keep posting pictures

[samson78945]

wow def. tagging along for this

[cutnup]

correction: this tank is actually a 15 ft. circle not 14 ft.

[8BALL_99]

wow kewl.. But I don't think his drop ceiling tiles will last long :D I hope he has a plan for the moisture!

[drummereef]

Any updates? :)

[cutnup]

no, no updates just yet waiting on plumbing and the sand storm to clear up as soon as something changes ill post.
8BALL_99: ill have to ask him about that

[Bebo77]

i take it that it wont be a reef tank...

[REKLAW]

updates? if you run some filter floss or even the sand filter it might clear up(if your not already... but it should be clear by now

[ViEt-TiN]

Bump. Tagging along on this one as well.

In the future, there is a handy little "subscribe to this thread" button near the bottom of the page. using that will save a lot of peoples wasted time checking a page that that says "tagging along"when theyve been notified of a new post. we would like more information on the tank, not information that yet another person doesn't know how to get email alerts on a thread without typing something.

[Micki]

ViEt-TiN, thanks for bumping this thread. It's been a few weeks since we've heard anything. Any Updates???

[ViEt-TiN]

Well I was hoping maybe he would come check the thread out as well as leaving an update as well...If I have wasted your time I am sorry...I had no intentions at all of wasting it...

[REKLAW]

is this tank still going?

You know, funny thing.... those email alerts clearly state who it is that is generating them. If one actually take an extra second to fully read them they should be able to tell if they are, or are not coming from the thread starter. ;)

Going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing you wasted more time typing your response to chastize him for his transgression, than you actually wasted logging in to check the update.

And with that said, where has cutnup gone and ran off to and where are those updates???

[chrisqueenz]

Wow, I am sticking around for this one!!!

Updates?

[Kev135]

Hope to see this one finished

[chrisqueenz]

Me too!!!!

[FUA]

fish only???

[nick540]

WOW WOWO WOWWO thats what i call a tank!

[REEF-n-Chicago]

Bumpity, bump, bump! Tell us more

[bristle]

I am also concerned about the moisture. Seems like it is just sitting out in the open. Those ceiling tiles and pretty much everything else in that store will be in for some rough times.

Hope he did something about it. Great stuff, don't see 6000 gallons too often.

[reefcrazed]

any updates?

[nino4u]

I wonder if there was any update on this tank? I know it was back in 2007... I wonder if it was ever completed or was it torn down?
