You can definitely tell he did this on a budget and had lots of friends and family helping him out. It was obviously expensive, but I think it cost him less then you think. Can you imagine doing a weekly 10,000 gallon water change? LOL.....that's like draining your pool every week and filling it back up. If you had a setup like this, you wouldn't be able to work because you would be so busy with the upkeep!

 

[Mephistopheles]

He could charge admission to help offset the cost. I know I'd pay to see it.

Your right, most of the unskilled labor was done by relatives it looks like, and some skilled labor too. But it still more then most of us will spend on a single fish tank in a liftime.

I wonder what it did to the value of his house? Obviously he wont wanna move from there, but would he find a buyer who would want that? (I know most of us would, but i'm talking normal people) I guess you could convert it to a swimming pool.....

I would hate to see what would happen if some of the glass cracked and then it burst open...

 

[tropicfishman]

Arapaima Gigas....3 of these 15 foot 500lb bad boys

That's about all I could afford to buy after building the tank
Ideally, one sweet african cichlid setup. You could re-create a piece of one of the lakes so well the fish would hardly know the difference.

 

[Jarred Darque]

I would only hav ea few fish. I am thinking a Giant Mekong Catfish, an Arapaima, paddlefish, and an alligate gar. and anyother 6+ft fish I could think of

I just thought it was amazing to be able to make a dream tank come ture. I'd have a couple of red tip catfish from the amazon and few hundred jags along with some others to keep it stock for the red tip cat eatting everything. LOL The redtip catfish is an amazing fish in it's self the fact that it never stops growing in it's life.

 

[frieked]

Wow, 7 days to fill and 10,000 weekly water changes... that's unreal.
I now have a goal for when I make my first billion
