Updates to come ;)

WOW!! This is in a House????? I live in the wrong country/am way to poor LOL

well this is Romania, which was an eastern block oppressed country under the regime of Nickolai Chauchescu.

I thought they traded in goats and stray whenches until Claude told me about this build.

Guess wont ask Claude who is paying the bill!

Thats a tank build with an endless budget! Thats unreal Mikey!

LOL, No kiddin, but EXTREMELY impressive tank, that's fro sure. WOuld hate to see what the Bill would be here in Canada for that, Probibally more than my house :cry:

wow....that is quite impressive.....Im tagging along.

:mrgreen: Aquarium's that make mine look shameless, sigh!

its all fun and games until someone has to clean the glass (or acrylic in this case I guess). :surprise:

Wow, going to be very nice. Interesting shape for sure. Background housing doesn't look to be anywhere near a high society neighbourhood, must be getting a heck of a deal :)

Pretty impressive tank.. but who is Claude and why are we wondering where he has been?

Steve

OMG! Now that is a tank...

Cleaning, well one way to get your scuba training.

I think he is Santa Claude, of course! :wink:

Head honcho at Fauna Marin. Although, I too hadn't wondered lately where he was. Saw him on RC not more than 2 weeks ago.

Haha, 80mm acrylic - anybody got a magfloat for that?

I will keep you all informed of more developments as I get them ;)

:crazyeye: Wow, that tank is what dreams are made up...I can't wait to see more from this build
