Keeping up with the joneses!

OMG, I just looked outside and saw a delivery truck bringing in 4 sheets of glass and lots of boxed stuff at my neighbors! Could he be getting a huge reef tank? The sheets of glass were at least 5 foot long! Now I am going to have to start shopping for one at least 5'1" long! Every time they come over they all eye ball my little tank...

Hey, maybe ill have someone to trade with right next door

I think I'd GO ASK & then update this thread. Curious reefers need to know
Even if your neighbor isn't getting a tank: If you have room & funds, You should lead the way

I am getting dressed to head over there they the delvery truck just left so it took them 2 hours to just unload. Its gotta be something big!

dimension of 72"L X 30"H X 48"D 500 gallon tank that's a 6 foot tank I got room but cant afford a 501 gallon tank 6'1" long :grind:

So, they are having a 500gal. tank built?
And they didn't mention this to you before they got started?

Bet ya they're just remodeling the bathroom. Those sound like glass shower panels.

I went over and asked and they got equipment out the wazoo. Its a reef tank. He said mostly tax money into it. He mentioned doing a tank before but not a 500g lol There going to build in it in the wall in there bedroom

A tank in the bedroom? I would want a tank where I spend the most time (living room, dinning room, kitchen) but not the bedroom. To each their own.

 

[reeferman]

they may spend most of their time in the bedroom...bow chica bow wow

 

[Iamonlyme]

Or you can do what we do one in the bedroom one in the dining room and three in the living room I should probably add all are wet but only 3 with livestock lol

I agree that there are some pretty fantastic built in custom tanks out there, always love to do a search on them. But, can you imagine the cost of water changes...

 

[DianaKay]

^+1 ....not even to mention the daily cleaning of that much glass!

 

[Oxylebius]

You would need to snorkel/dive to clean the glass - human squeegee :snrkl:

 

[Newjack]

I wonder if they have something that does it automatically. Like a ladybug thing that cleans the pool. Maybe they have one that sucks itself onto the glass and runs around??? Maybe new invention idea? Don't steal it!! :faces:

yeah but that's small. and would only work for stand alone tanks. I am talking something that is only on the inside of tank and a lot bigger like for a house built around on like above.

 

[landshark]

That is one big reef tank.
