Can't help but feel sorry for him (and his banking account).  | |

with this much equipment, time/money spent, and a big arse hole in the wall, you would think he would nut up and try at least a few more times, THE LOW AND SLOW WAY.
almost like this was a fly by night hobby for him. | |

Rich or "Bi-Polar" (both?) --- will never know for sure.
Was an engineering marvel.
Would have to nearly rebuild house to undo.
You guys with really big tanks can probably better imagine then I can the amount of effort it would take to maintain a tank of this size.
Too sad.
Just work of keeping up a Nano may have discouraged him before taking on this massive undertaking.
Lots of lessons here for all of us. | |
