What a fantastic tank it must have been built in situ as you would need a crane to lift glass that size.

I have always wanted a big tank so last year I had Wharf Aquatics of Pinxton build one for me.
It is in my Garage Annex and measures 7 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft with a sump filter underneath measuring about 5 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft. Never did tell the Missus the full cost ! lol

Love it, I bet he doesn't go into the tank with barracudas in.

Since he is semi detached, I wonder if the tank is on the adjoining wall?
Play havock with the fish if the neighbour drills hole to fit shelve in the basement with a hammer drill. :lol :lol :lol

I like the way he cleans the glass, nice 70 degrees F water to bathe in. :clap

Brilliant.. :clap:clap

When I way younger I had 12 tropical tanks, I bought 2x 20" stainless steel tanks in the mid 60's and I still have them in the loft, they have served by son's hobby until he went to Uni... as well.
I bought them from Tib Street in Manchester at the time.

Saving them for my grand kids one day. :eek:

Actually when you look down in water, things are really smaller than they actually are... :eek:

Since water always looks shallower than it is, due to refraction.
