I have seen this one before. Call it the GrandDaddy of them all!
Imagine the costs to maintain

I NEED to revisit, they're just all so very awesome that I have trouble remembering which one is which after a while!!
If I recall correctly, this is the one where the guy replaces his sand bed every 6 months so that it's all nice and white ALL the time?  (Oh dear. A little patch of cyano over hier! RrrrRRRrrRRReplace ze zand at vunce!! {insert Dutch accent here - it's OK - I'm Dutch - I can make fun of my own accent can't I !!?})Still - what a breathtaking tank. I'm torn. If I could afford the upkeep of a tank like that, odds are pretty good I could afford just to live near a beach somewhere near a REAL reef, and that would be a hard choice to make!!! ... Hmmm, actually, it wouldn't. Never mind. Nevertheless, what a spectacular tank.

The two craziest things about this tank that always struck me are:
1. "After two structural piles were hammered 19 meters into the ground to help support the weight of the 8000 kg tank". WTF??? 19 meters???? I thought I overbuilt my stand. 2. The shop that the baby is in sell fireplaces. WTF??? Fireplaces???? If I walked into this shop thinking to buy a fireplace, I'd walk out wanting a reef tank instead.
