NoobtoSalt Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've been following that thread for awhile now too. Amazing setup. Can you believe he has a 45 kw backup generator just for the tank?? Wow!! Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 That is crazy and the coolest thing I've seen. Think I'll put it on my x-mass list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 In reading the thread he has about 100,000 K into it and his electricity bill is 1500 dollars a month and he scuba dives to clean the class! (laugh) Very entertaining thread and he says he wishes he had gone bigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like money is a problem for him Maybe you can hit him up Marshall for his tiny little 1500 gallon tank that he used to have for your high school!

Trautman Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 hehe... i bet he gets requests like that day and night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate213 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 That thread is so ridiculous. He makes most of his own equipment including the controller and programming. They should have him on the dois equis commercials instead of that other guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmike Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Bill has been around the forums for a LONG time... kinda moody it seems. He will post for awhile and then get pissed about people asking him what he does or how much he makes and then disappears for awhile... looks like he has resurfaced again.

Well if you are going to build a 20,000 gallon tank in your home, build all your own equipment and have Ferraris in your garage, people are going to ask questions about what you do! He posted up there too that he dropped out of high school too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 1. Beutifull tank, excellent skill set , layout and execution. 2. Slipping a pic of your Modena engine out and dissambled on the floor of your 7,000 sq. ft. place with ONE of many of your " horses in the stable" in the backgound....you are going to get questions beyong the scope of this hobby. He has been around and knows how to edit his posts. Kudos to the guy for spending what he is earning! I wonder what other hobbies he accels in?(drooler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He posted up there too that he dropped out of high school too! agreed! Thats why I found it funny to see him get annoyed when the $ questions started rolling in... He may have calmed down though, it appears he is posting more of his "toys" in this thread... maybe he is becoming more comfortable with his wealth, lol.

Bicyclebill Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Wow... None of those pictures really do it justice except the ones with him SCUBA diving inside. The dude is immaculate with everything he does it appears. A 60,000 gallon hex in the planning stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergebmw3 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 So just read he looses as much as 100 gallons a day. Try topping that off --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.691089,-122.625222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxx155 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 He is a pretty smart guy, I have been following several of his threads for quite a while, but I do agree that he seems to moody or maybe not very socially adjusted. Last I heard he buys medical equipment for a couple $1,000's, rebuilds, then turns around and sells them for $10,000's. Apparently there in pretty high demand also. With how skilled he is he probably could make money doing almost anything, but he definitely likes to tinker. I am not surprised he is already planning another tank, I think he prefers to build rather than maintain. I think his 1500 gallon tank was his best.
