I was thinking of setting up a small ciclid tank and went to the ciclid forum for some info. Decided not to set up a ciclid tank after reading this, now I want one of these!!!!

That's a lot of buckets of salt he has there. Hope he doesn't have the same problem that Mr. 10,000 had when he built his tank in the basement of his home.

There are a # of people who have built large shark pool outside in their back yards. Very impressive that he could do some thing like that but I would always work about leaks.

I remember this also, what a project!

I like the little island of live rock and the school of damsels he has in there.
I don't know if that shows up in the small pics, but he put a whole bunch of small fish in there as well.

I remember reading something regarding this tank awhile back (maybe on RC?) saying that he broke down the tank due to humidity issues. Could just have been a rumor but thought I would share

I think that was Mr. 10,000 as the humidity from the tank rotted his house.

Yeah I remember that guy (think it was Mr4000) that broke down his tank, but I think this guy did as well.

BTW, some of the pics of mr4000 scuba diving in his tank a classic

I wish he still left the site up with the pictures of him suba driving accross the front of the tank. I'm sure they're out some where.

I would be in that tank in a NY Minute, I have always wanted to shark dive. Was going to in Key West in College but we had to leave, the cruise ship was shipping out to mexico.

FYI...

IF you want to look at as web page that is no longer available, try using the Way Back Machine at Archive.org. You need the URL, but it has a cache of old web pages. If you have the URl, you can probably even find Mr. 10,000.
