Just wondering who buys a 3300 gallon tank?
Or where the heck one would put it. It would be rather heavy!

a school of marine catfish (plotosidae lineatus) might be interesting.

people with lots of fun money buy 3300gallon tanks. it is going in a residential basement with reinforced concrete slab floors. Still not sure what it will be made out of? Either FRP with acrylic windows, or steel with acrylic windows, or fiberglass with acrylic windows, or an all acrylic tank, if its built with just acrylic it will have 3"-4" thick pannels. same customer says he might want an even larger tank in his business. A gym.

you remember what happened to mr. 4000... his tank rotted his house out. i'd be really careful before putting any tank that big in my basement. maybe a sunroom addition would be a better location?

Ill be sure to post pics of the construction and finished product. This is not being done on a budget so any and all concerns are being taken care of. The house will not have any transfered humidity. Im looking forward to it being finished! Im will also post pics of a 588gallon seamless acrylic cylinder that I am putting in a business, should be nice!
