Damn, I really wish I could read Japanese, but the photos alone are staggering:

Haha i like your thread title

That is amazing! *sigh* maybe one day....

 

[StickyTuba]

That is AMAZING!!
I wish that I had an old garage that I didn't need to turn into a tank.

Of course, I'd probably end up living in there by myself, since my wife would probably leave me

 

[thatonegirl]

Wow. 8O

 

[lyquidphyre]

I wonder how expensive it would be to do that??

Because, a nice, brand new tank and stand setup can be several thousand

 

[lmw80]

omg. incredible! 8O

 

[slowboattochina]

Awesome tank!

 

[Jchillin]

Construction must have taken months...not to mention...how do you acclimate fish that big??? I mean...a plastic bag floating in the tank is sorta out of the question.

 

[Toirtis]

Yet, sadly, that tank, despite being circa 3750-5000 gallons, is arguably a bit small for one Arapaima, much less three with big tankmates like two gar and a TSN.

How do you do water changes that huge? How do you filter it all? Crazy

Very easy....3" drain hose, and a small fire-hose to fill. Filtration would be easy enough to engineer, but require some fair lucre to power.

I've seen tanks that size filtered with swimming pool filters.

 

[Menagerie]

Wow! Do you think that used to be someone's garage?

 

[Fishyfanatic]

I would love to have something like that set up with African Cichlids or like 500 Tetra's schooling.

Well I have trouble sometimes keeping the water temperature regulated for my tank refills. I can only imagine if you had that much to fill

 

[BrianNY]

I'd imagine a propane heater and a several hundred gallon holding tank for water changes.

Where IS the filtration. I didn't see it in the pics.

I tried translating the page with Babelfish... It's not much more intelligible, but still a pretty funny read!
