Default Tank Sizes

Just wondering how big peoples tanks were in Calgary.

Who has the biggest tank in the city? Mine is a 225 but I am sure I am not even close.

I know that there are meets every so often, but do we ever tour around an look at any of these tanks?

It's official my dad said I could have his old tank. It's a 190gal . I'm pretty excited. It will take me a while to get it going, plus I'm still a newbie at salt water so I'll be posting lots of questions and doing a lot of research. Can't wait to get started though.

My current tanks
-55gal fresh
-30gal FOWLR
-1gal with a beta on my desk at work

How deep and how tall? That must be impressive. You should ask if it's OK to post some pics (he can remain anonymous through you if that suited him better).

WOW! I'd like to see that as well! Mine is not quite that long, but it's still 10 feet long x 3 ft deep x 3 ft tall + a 90 gal sump. No, it's not a REEF tank --- just a FOWLR + some fake corals. I love angels and tangs, so I have several of them in there.

Regards
