yeah plus it would be (bigger) and you could get alot
more stuff. you could do a donate to renee's new
tank thread. Hey maybe you could do a 1000 gal
aquarium. Then you could go scuba diving in it.
How would you place your corals in such a large
tank. I have seen them before in houses

The worm incident story is cool. Don't we all want to find a 7ft worm
in our tank someday. Plus, don't ricordia grow like weeds in all of our
tanks, it would be nice to have something keep them at bay.
That site gives me something to dream about, someday I hope to have a similar tank. Talk about relaxing.

holy toleetoes. That is cool. I think that would be my
dream aquarium. Or you could just work at sea
world. "I wonder if a whale would be ok with a Frogs
spawn." That would be a cool job.

Tracy, Rob wants to turn our backyard into a pond. Do you
know any web sites where he can get ideas? He wants to do it
himself, and he wants me and my brother to bug off! 'Cause i
got some ideas and my brother has ideas and Rob thinks we're
trying to take over his pond!
I think you guys who want really big tanks might not be as
happy as you think you would (Except the Tim-the-Toolman
types among us). We had a 180 for a few years, and when I
decided to upgrade, I actually ended up with smaller tanks. All
the things that bugged me about big tanks kept bugging me
more and more!
And, I never even thought about a huge worm!
But, there is this guys tank in Alpine that is breathtaking!

Suzy, those things that bugged you about your big tank aren't bugging me at all. Except the amount of salt it takes to do a water change.
Renee, If you have to do any kind of move please let me know I would be happy to help and I have all kinds of containers to use a temporary holding tanks.

Water change? What's that? If there is anything I really OUGHT to do really badly, it's a water change. I don't know how to accomplish that feat. Planned to do a 50g w/change before Damon left for Iraq. But... oops.
Tracy - how about a really nifty jacuzzi? You do those, right? I think I could afford one of those, but probably not a 30,000g saltwater pool.

Well... nothing. I asked if you guys recommended reinforcing the acrylic with another piece. I seem to remember that others have tried that & found it to be catastrophic. (???)

New options:
A) Leave it alone & worry
B) Reinforce it somehow
C) New tank
1) Wait until Damon gets back & make him deal with it
2) See just how many of you guys want to come to my house for serious pizza party & moving party.
D) Take the $$ I would spend on a new tank & invite y'all for a party!
