ReefSafari Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 That thing is HUGE!! He doesn't list a price, I wonder what something like that goes for? It would cost an arm and a leg and possibly a testicle to set that bad boy up, Custom Stand, just the cost of the live rock alone would be more than my car:eek: Lighting for something that huge:eek:...OUCH! It would be super cool though, just cost a bloody fortune to setup...Ouch(scary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 That would make a great 3 sided viewing tank! Just have a small mound of rock come off the back and go out about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way to the other end. Similar to the way Franks 120 was set up. That way you wouldnt need a ton of MHs either.

reef165 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 You made it' date=' wow!!! How long did that take? How much $ is that in acrylic?[/quote'] It took about 5 days to build and 3 1/2 sheets of 3/4 inch acrylic at, I think back then it was about $450 a sheet and now the sheets run in the upper $500ds As for the stand, I used about 20 2x4's, 2 sheets of reg 5/8 plywood for the top and inside, then 3 sheets of 1/2 inch oak plywood, about 35 lbs of screws and a gallon of Gorilla glue, so about $350.

reef165 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Honestly, well because of the cheep a$$e$, everyone wants a deal, ya give them a quote that is 2/3 of what they can get it for and they cry about it. It got to the point that I wasn't making any $, just doing favors no one would ever repay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
