Million Dollar Fish Tanks?

Found this on MSN's web page today...

It must be nice...but these people just look at the tanks...Do not maintain them...What ever you want to do...

Cheers!

I've seen that before! I like how she says "a mere $125,000.00 for this"!
I wish I had enough money that I could say the same thing! LOL

Re: Million Dollar Fish Tanks?

the sad part is that they all have overpayed for that luxury...people who know reefing can do a heck of a lot better with just a fraction of that money

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~

Re: Million Dollar Fish Tanks?

The funny thing is I don't like the looks of any of the tanks I've seen there! I really dislike that fake coral look and round tanks! I personally think they wasted a lot of money on the setups they have!

Re: Million Dollar Fish Tanks?

I wouldn't pay that much for some water, fish and fake corals. I'd rather have a pool. It's hot as hell in Memphis today!
