    Saw this and thought "Free DIY aquarium?"
    Lets see...at 22' across and 42' high would make it about....15,965.57 cubic foot = 119,430.757 gallons. I can make 90g of RO/DI a day...thats about 1327.008 days(3.64 years) of making water and @ $60/160g for IO reef crystals the salt will be around $44,820. I'm over it. It IS free though...

    I just priced a 150,000gal skimmer (have to go bigger then actual tank) and I just can't find the rest of my $300,000. I think I might have left it in my pocket when I washed my pants. I'll have to check when the dryer is done.

    I knew I shouldn't have sold that 5,000,000gph pump last week.
    I know I still have my 100 - 9,700w T5 bulbs laying around if anyone wants to buy them I'll sell them cheap. They cost $5,000 each will start at $500,000. It's a steal. They are just sitting in my 20,000sqft garage.

    You first need to get it home. To do that, you will need to hire an oversize truck and escort service with height guage, and buy permits for each state it must pass through. I'll let you find the prices. :)

    Just to get it out of CA it would be almost $100,000 for blocking the highway for that length of time. I hope he is close to the HWY.

    And that is not counting the truck and how to load it on the truck. I think it would be cheaper to put it on a boat and ship it around the country.
