I can almost hear the collective spines of Calgary compressing in unison :P

I called and left a message.

That tank must weight close to 2 tonns if it's all glass, It must have been built on site.

Wow if you wanted that to be a reef setup you would need probably 10 1000 watt mh lights for it!!

Thats a 1200 gallon tank!!!!!!!!!

I would assume its in te basment and unless its a walk out basment I cant imagine how you would get it out.

1200 gallons, baby! Is that the king of Calgary SW tanks? Anyone know this tank's history or former glory?

This thing is going to weigh close to 2000 pounds just for the tank!

Awesome RC thread regarding the install of a 10' 1200g beast here.

Good luck to whomever tackles it!

You'd have to cut all the seams and take it out in peices no matter what.

Wow!! I just looked through the RC thread on the 1200g tank install

Whoever takes the Calgary tank has got some serious planning ahead of them. I'd like to tag along on the thread of the person who takes the tank and what they have to do to set it up. Gonna be big bucks for sure

If you didn't salvage the glass, a 4 foot depth tank. Go swim with the fishes.

Did anyone hear back from this guy yet?
