Its best not to think about those sort of things.

I agree. I'm sure I've spent the same on our 120g but man I'd love a 300g+ tank. Now if I only had more money.....

I think the aggression would be unmanageable after a while. Even if all were doing well otherwise.

But it sure would be cool! The ones OA has are outstanding! I understand where you're thinkin Christy!!! Maybe if we had a group buy on 1000G tanks we could get a good deal in the works....however, we may be more in the $30,000 range instead of only the 6K+ that you were thinking!

Besides, its just a Pipe Dream (TM)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA HAA HAA!

If you can do that for 6K then lemme know where you are stealing from! Does that include water? hehe

I know... I'm a jerk!

Hey like I said, that was just the stuff I could think of offhand. Theres way more to a large tank than a small one so no doubt I've forgotten some major stuff (either that or I'm just better connected than you )

Well my plans are sort of the "reined-in Pipe Dream" not the "free-for-all Pipe Dream" which includes winning the lottery In that dream I say screw the tank and buy a small island in the carribean or something.
