If any1 is in the market for tank, stand , and filter. The Fish Bowl has an Acrylic 450 for $2000.00. The stand is boring but stable looking and I have no idea what the filter is. If someone gets it we will have to ck it out!!!!!! It is worth the trip to atleast look at it. My dream...

Yeah Mickey has been trying to sell that thing for over a year now.

He never bothered setting it up when he bought it.

The filtration is a pool filter, which would work fine for an application that large.

A little acrylic polish, and she'd be as good as new. Just have fun trying to get all the lights for it... YUCK.

If I had an extra $15,000 hanging around and a really big house no problem but as luck has it I do not.

I've seen that tank! Its really huge, but what a dream come true it could be for someone, who has a large home to show case it in...

imagine the new supports you would have to install for a tank that big .... unless your house was on a slab ....lets see 450gal. X 8.25lb. per gal. = 3712lb. plus another 500lb of rock ... and sand wow!!! plus the weight of the stand ...

I think I'll put it in the apartment over my garage that my uncle smiley built. He built it real cheap with used lumber:-)

Stopped by and looked at the tank today. Very impressive size wise. Maybe it's just me but if I am going to put 450 gallons in my living room I want something a little more...well...new. Now in my basement...maybe, if it had a floor drain:-)
