Ever wonder what a $200,000 aquarium looks like?

[Chrona]

LOL, I just had to post this. This is a 1600 (!) gallon planted aquarium being setup by Tom Barr for a client. Some quick specs:

4x 1000 watt metal halide lights (LOL)
~500 watts of supplementary lighting
Dedicated air conditioning (because of lighting)
500 watt UV sterilizer of doom
Full real time monitoring equipment (can be accessed remotely through the internet)
Filtration system designed by the guys who run Monterrey Bay Aquarium


1000 cardinal tetras (Food for the altums)
36x 10" discus
24x altum angelfish
+ more

Heres a few pics detailing the equipment and the setup

That would look "natural"

But that's a sweet tank! I'd hate to see what would happen if it cracked....

The guy would go out and buy a new one after paying someone else to clean it up for him

1.25" thick acrylic though. Jeeeeeeeeez.

Hm, just realized the pictures won't show unless you are registered and I don't have his permission to post it here. Bleh. Suffice to say the pics are pretty mind-boggling. I would imagine the general reaction fo anyone entering the room would be "agagagagagaga"
