I wouldn't even know what to do with that. That's something you build your house around

wonder if the hex is smooth enough for shark to be happy?

If I was to build a dream mega tank it would be more to facility a reef, and I would have to be able to reach across it lol

I am scared if a my 36 gallon flooding my house can only imagine having 1200 gallons ready to explode.

That said I was intrigued - could I sneak this in the basement without the wife knowing lol

A tank that size could definitely hold sharks. I mean I wouldn't put a mako in there but some rays and cat sharks would be cool

The club does need a tank no? lol

you might be able to get a black tip in there as well. But I would want rounded ends not hex on a shark tank

If we had a club house .....

crazy idea but it would be cool if we had a club tank. Pick a public place (like a school, college, business, etc..) that willing to house a large tank and members from the club take turn maintaining it and upkeep.

Cool idea- I always thought it would be cool to help with a tank for like a hospital or something used for education (children). I don't really have the knowledge base to pull it off.

Hospital would be cool place as well.

I'm sure there tons of stuff to take into consideration, like schedule, cleaning, who paying, insurance if something goes wrong, etc.....

We did donate a tank and corals, etc to the facility at Camden aquarium.

@redfishbluefish is that tank still there? Do we have any information on location/pictures/live stock/etc...? Just thinking something like that would be nice to "highlight" on our website.

Insurance maybe being the biggest- risk tolerance for issues might not match what we need them to as well.

also someone close by that has a clue would be extremely helpful. I think it is a steep mountain in regards to issues.

they had some beautiful big frogspawn colonies. Also a pretty cool clownfish display with a lot of RTA's

I went early this year did the sea turtle experience. Really cool get to go back stage and feed the turtles.

Hold on one minute..........Something doesn't add up???

The dimensions are listed as 84 by 84 by 36.....with four sides 72 inches and four sides 36 inches. I went to do some quick calculations assuming the tank looked like this:



I got the smallest length at 123 inches??? Am I missing something? And to think I was going to buy it!

yeah I couldn't reconcile the dimensions in my head either. They could barely be bother to take the top off to take a picture so my guess is 84" was close enough lol.

So I am guessing you literally have to climb in it to clean it.

I could find a use trolling motor for power head when I am down in Louisiana for Christmas lol.
