Tom Barr estimates that it cost 200 000USD ouch

 

Yes damit OUCH!

 

He saying that they want to do 2 similar tanks at the LA aquarium.
Now to make you sick.it's in someones sitting room

 

THat is one AWESOME tank we could only wish......

 

Time to call up the broker... Is this the tank with 1000 cardinals that get added every now and then as discus snacks?

 

Thats the one...

 

now thats something else

 

Thats a beautiful tank, even the scaping is amazing, I dont even want to think how much work went into setting that monster up!

 

Totaly awesome and beautifull tank ...

 

With a tank like that who needs TV ???

 

I have some more pictures of this setup, but the cabinets and stand look different to what was posted earlier. I wonder if this was redone more than once?
Looks like ADA Aquasoil...imagine the cost of that in this tank! I know Tom complained on his forum about trouble he has in really large tank when using ADA Aquasoil.

 

It really looks awesome... any one know how thick the glass is?
and how many filters are running on that tank?

 

Just by looking at these pics I get these warm jealous feelings growin inside me...one day I will be able to afford such a tank...probably not the water and electicityush:

 

:congrats::congrats::congrats::congrats:
Now that is a tank for anyone with major MTS
I am so :sick: with envy

 

That is my favorite tank in the world. Tom Barr certainly knows how to make a tank pretty. It's actually amazing how small those discus look in that tank.

 

where can one get hold of the lovely drift wood that they are using

 

No idea... You'd probably have to collect it yourself.

 

+1 +1 i want drift wood like that does anybody in sa sell such big pieces
