Dumb da Dumb Dumb Dumb
« on: January 24, 2012, 03:14:56 PM »
I'm still basically homeless.  I have absolutely no place to put a huge tank.  Yet I'm strongly considering blowing some cash on this:

8' x 4' x 16" - You can't get a much better size tank for rays.
I used to be a people person... but people ruined that for me.

Leo - I guesstimate freight would be $600 give or take a $200.  If that tank was with 300 miles of here I would already have 1... possibly 2.

Griz - That dining room table takes up way too much space...  Perfect location for this tank.

Hell I would help you move the thing into your house, just to see it. But...... since you don't have one guess my offer is moot. Would be an amazing tank for rays thou.

If I got one I would fill it with Tutti-Fruiti tetras  :D :D :D

Actually, I would be doing some serious rays again with a Tigrinis cat to boot.

It's acrylic.  Not a huge deal even at that size.

There is a guy that built his house around having a room for his tank. The nickname of this gentleman is Villadsen, from Europe. I am linking you to forum where he is posting his build process, first thread is preparing for the tank, the last is his decorations. Monster Tank / Room please take a look.

Now Jeff, this just shows what you could do with one of these monsters, all you need is the house.

Lol, Jeff you should've seen my daughters face when she saw Tony's table.
Luckily I caught her while reaching for it.

On MittenState a year or two ago there was discussion on how I could accommodate a River Dolphin.  I was thinking of a moot around the entire house and replace the concrete basement walls with acrylic glass.

No road trip for me.  It would cost more in gas to drive one way then it would to have an LTL carrier deliver it.  Now we could do a 'group' order which would lower the freight costs.
