That guy has way to much money...

LOL love the user comment "Sounds a little fishy"

Seems a bit overboard. I mean he will need some hardcore LEDs to penetrate

Damn Crazy Brits

 

[ShelbyJK500]

What a complete moron.

 

[tlsrcs]

WOW! it will probably be a freshy just cause how in the world can you get enough light penetration 40ft down i mean 10 ft would be a challenge! even with half a million. And 19k a year to run......speechless

 

[projectx]

Wow, $4000 annual fish food bill? Cant wait to see the power bill for that monster, would open the roof and use solar lighting on it, otherwise yea he is not going to have much light on floor 1 and 2 lol

 

[Wicked Color]

A fool and his money.....

 

[chrislorentz]

that is sweet

 

[hurrafreak]

Sounds cool to me

 

[MSwift]

I think its cool y'all cant hate it just cause none of us could afford it... I think it will be sweet when its done.... Like all the other responses though he will have issues with light I think

 

[hurrafreak]

As suggested maybe he's doing something where light isn't needed all to much? OR wouldn't it be cool if he did azoo things towards the middle/bottom of the tank? He could have a "normal" reef at the top, all the way until the lights wouldn't be able to penetrate, and then all azoo corals after that? Maybe some nocturnal fish, etc? That'd be cool.

 

[chrislorentz]

Yea Juan or he could skylight it. and get light pretty deep. then do some deepwater fish and stuff People get crazy par with skylights

There was one day this winter where I had the kitchen blinds open and a shaft of sunlight snuck through into the living room onto my tank and I have never seen my corals so happy. Some things were double in size, no kidding. And I run halides and vho so it's not like I'm starving them. I would almost consider busting a hole in the roof.

algae loves sun light too...

maybe he will have LEDs running up the side of the tank

 

[chrislorentz]

Algae loves any light

I read that it was going to be 4 separate tanks stacked, but still, how would you clean them with only 3' across, even a diver would scratch the beans out of it with the air tank.

I wouldn't do the tank vertical like that, but create a huge shallow reef tank with some nice LEDS. Of course that is a dream and it would be like A million dollars. When you get that much money, people dont even know how to spend it. Looks like it would be cool.
