That's not such a big tank fellows! I suppose it is all a matter of perspective... as a kid, we had 2x 50 gallon tanks... which the fish outgrew (Koi) ... upgrade was a 720 gallon pond in the back yard... In black Houston clay, ouch. Talk about hurting your back lifting.

Of course, since I was the youngest, guess who got stuck cleaning the filters?

Fishtank on the floor? Siphoning the water out to change it got a whole lot harder...

Haha Tim... tank, not tank circuit

 

[karma]

removing the water is easy the pump does all the work
it filling it that's hard

I've got a 350L or so tank here, filling is easy - just run a hose from a tap in the bathroom

My girlfriend had a 150Gallon tank,which she just traded for a smaller 75G.
She got a new house,and I told her
"I"m not touching that tank"
She said "Ohh,We're not moving it,I'm getting rid of it!"
Thank god.. That SOB probably weighs 700lbs,empty.
3 of us moved it once....and we almost died!

Renamed to: The official "I had a fishtank" thread!

My dad got a 150 gallon saltwater setup from a co-worker in another town. Now that is a big tank for two guys to carry. Even bigger when it springs a leak. Or needs cleaning.

I was once involved in an exhibition stand in Geneva. I wanted to have 6 huge cylindrical tanks, 3m high and 1/2 m in diameter filled with a particular type of jellyfish that glow under u/v light. We had to cut them when we got on site 'cos the point loading on the floor couldn't cope.

I sometimes wonder where those very expensive custom made tanks ended up...

An aquaintance of mine made a monster tank some years ago, by simply using an entire room in the basement and making a glass wall between that room and the one next to, so you sat in the room next to watching. Any maintainance had to be carried out by diving in the tank. I don't remember what sort of cretures he had, but I remember a couple of good laughs when he got bit when cleaning the tank
