10 Foot Tank

So..... Yesterday i was asked to go and take a pic of this tank as he had tried and could not get a full tank shot. (im not surprised as its 10 foot long !!) What looks like a sump underneath isnt at all and i was shocked to find myself face to face with a bloody huge great lizard !!!!

So i turn up with some of my gear and WOW what a great tank. So i asked if i could share it with you guys and he agreed. Funny to think there are tanks like these about and you wouldnt get to see them as the owners dont bother with forums and the like

Ive about 80 photos im still going through but ive added most of the best on my website below.

You can find more pics of it on my website at :

Ill find out all the details i can for you, and post back up once i know

I do know though the Sump was Huge and he had pipes going through the wall to a shed outside where all the equipmet was kept. Shame i didnt take any pics of that side though as i was to carried away with the tank.

so is this tank someone's home tank? because that looks like it could be part of some bisness or some rich hotel lobby.
