My Weird tank...

[fishpoor]

I just wanted to share some pics of my new tank for my own little diary! It is so tall I have to almost get inside to set up my rocks! lol What does everyone think about the rock set up (formation)? Any opinions are LOVED!! Thanks, Angela

WOW, you dont realize how big it is until you see an actual human inside of it

Looks nice so far, keep up the good work.

i think the second picture defies the laws of physics.
i still can't understand how you didn't fall in...

 

[guinness]

what size is it? can't wait to see more!

 

[fishpoor]

3 foot tall by 3.5 long and 2.5 wide it is about 150 gal, I am moving up from my 30 gal. tank. I had GALLONITIS real bad! lol

 

[ameno]

that's a really good balancing act in the second pic. looks scary, if that were me I would have been inside the tank head first

 

[fishpoor]

LOL the tank has 2 holes cut through the top. I had to wiggle to get my shoulders through but my chest kept me from falling in LOL It was funny! And you can see how helpful my husband was... he ran to get the camera!

LOL what a tank I thought it was a small tank when I forst opened it up.
cant wait to see it up and running!!

If your dimentions are correct (and I'm sure they are) you have a 196 gallon tank...nice!

Nope, as a matter of a fact, I didn't need to hear that, thanks for ruining my day!

j/k, that "deal" is also called theft.

You know us woman we can SHOP!

I am going to start with FOWLR but will add corals when I have had the FOWLR set up for several months.

 

[michaeltx]

LOL....The same thing happened to me..I went to buy a 125..I noticed when I was filling it up with water..That I was waaay short...Did the measurment and it was a 180

 

[ameno]

ok that's it I'm going home and remeasuring my tank, maybe I really got a 180 instead of 125
