Outdoor Saltwater Aquariums

[arasa]

Hey
I used to play in one of the Kiddie pools myself when I was a Kid, but now a days they have outdoor pools with the capacity of even 5000 gallons.
I was wondering if anyone has heard of these outdoor pools being adjusted into aquariums given proper weather proofing and necessities, while using everything you would for an aquarium?

I'm sure it's possible, but very few, if any, of us could afford to do it right.

If it holds water, it can be "transformed" into an aquarium, the problem is where...
I can NOT do it where I live, since the weather here is extremelly HOT, all year long, so, I'll have to do it inside somewhere, NOT in the outdoors.

Then comes the other problem... even if I have the place to do it, it'll require heavy loads of $$$$$$$$ in equipments.

In other words, for a "normal" household individual, I don't think is viable... unless you own Sea World (or can afford to have a private one)...

There's a thread on here somewhere where a guy bought a big green house and turned into an outdoor research center. I wish I could remember where I found it, but I think he spent a S*&t load of money and time. He was talking about getting grants so you know he put out a lot of money.

Tanks like that can certainly be done but it has to be climate controlled if it is outdoors. You are talking about a large amount of money for that kind of project.
