lol My dad lives like 5 mins from here and he told me they were closing a few weeks ago. My immediate response was you should pick up one of the display tanks I bet you could grab it pretty cheap....... I have never been so wrong in my life.

Buying the tank is easy but transporting it and getting it to fit a house is another story.... 100k can build and awesome tank, but then it would probably cost half to stock it.

Even if I was filthy rich the max length of the tank would be 12' long and 8' wide by 6' high so I could swim in it!

all the millwork was solid oak...the cost of the wood alone for one tank would likely be $7K I suspect

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
