That thing would be heavy as hell!  I love those fake rocks, probably the best fake rocks I've ever seen.  Cant see me ever doing something like this but I am willing to help any of you guys if you do!   Just don't tell your wife my real name or where I live.

LOL. I showed my fiance and she said she loves it...Usually she just roles her eyes at me. She agreed that after the kids moves out and we build a new house shes on board with attempting something similar. The coolest thing about it to me is the shallowness of it. If something died or needs to be moved its not the end of the world to get it out.

And did you notice he actually put Africans in it!? Usually its all large South Americans. A tank that big would make an absolutely amazing Tang tank. Colonies of sooo many fish. You could have like 10 different types of shellies in that thing. Or a massive Orgy of Trohpeus.

And your right about the rocks...they look pretty bad ass. I would even put a catwalk above the tank so I could easily get overtop of any point in the tank.

That is a awesome tank.  With the tank being this large why not have it made out of acrylic?  It took ten men to carry that beast.

That is awesome. I'd do it out of acrylic if I could afford it.

Very sweet tank! I also agree I would only want acrylic at that size.
As for the fake rocks, they do look really nice, but I'm not a fan of the ones he mounted up top...they just don't look natural up there to me.
