I'd love to know how much is this guy's electric bill. or does he have a power plant in his back yard?

 

i wonder wht gave him the motiv to do a tank that big.............imagine the cost its just rediculous

 

His is 1700g... ridiculous.

Theres a bio of his tank. Based on that info, I'd say it costed him AT LEAST $55,000. He made the tank in 1995 and decided to remove everything and start over in 2003 because a lot of his fish grew too big...

 

Oh yeah, and a 1500g sump... pfffff

 

wow!!!

 

I saw this before, its stunning, and one of thise things that most of your time has to be dedicated to.........

 

more like all ur time... and ur money

 

Honestly money for just the rock in his tank................if its a 1700 gallon and u get a pound a gallon thats 1700 pounds. and around here rock is like 499 to 599 a pound so liek ranging from 8500$$ to like maybe 11000 $ on rock cause sometime people by more rock then just a pound per gallon.................WOW just that for rock thats jaw dropping

 

Yes i agree' that Tank is awsome to say the least ' makes ya drool just looking at it' i wouldint even begin to consider what the INITAIL cost as far as money' is concerned .

I would say if the tank is a "1,700" gallon glass , it wouldint be to say that i estimate roughly 15 to 20 thousand for the tank alone ' and taken into account all the love rock needed ( say 1 pounds per gallon ) that's 1700 pnds of rock @ say 7$ per pnd ? , LOL
then an avg. cost of any given fish ' say 50.00$ ? looks like theres about 100 or so in that tank ?..LOL

and not even the cost of coral's ( some of that stuff looks rare and hard to find as well )

So add THE "CONSERVITIVE" SUMS UP '. >
SO TANK 20,000 ?
LIVE ROCK 11,900 ?
FISH ALONE 5,000 ?
TOTAL > 36,900$ <

AND IM SURE THESE ESTIMATES IM MAKING ARE "CONSERVITIVE " TO SAY THE LEAST.

I would say ' atleast consider an initail ivestment of 50 grand and then another 5 to 10 grand a year for maintanance

Boy that makes' the YEE-OL bung hole pucker up don't it...LOL

 

it all so says that he changes 10% of his water every month thats 170g thats a lot to change every month
