    LMAO.
    Speaking of maintaining, can you imagine scraping algae and coraline off the glass in that beast? It would probably take hours.
    And what if you ever had to get something out of the rockwork?

    Awesome tank. That shark circling the tank was getting me dizzy.

    So, a 15% water change is a mere 150 gallons or one bucket of salt. So water changes alone every two weeks would cost $1300/year just for the salt. I think you would have to just top off and add supplements.

    OK, you guys have covered the obvious stuff, but what about STOCKING this tank?!?! You would have a minimum 5k for tangs, CUC, ect. to keep algae under control let alone all the coral frags you would have to start with to make it look like anything!!

    OMG!!!!!! 600lbs is SAND!! That's insaine! Hey guys what about the obvious? The shear weight. It has to go on a concrete floor. Just in water it's 8000lbs in the main tank not counting sump & 100gal water storage, between rock & sand & equipment you're about 10,000lbs!

    I agree though, KILLER DEAL!

    A tank with a shark is a tank you don't have to worry about the cat getting into an eating your fish. I like this idea!;D;D;D
