Over 200g? Just wondering, would like to see the biggest tanks around. I know at least one guy in the club has a 400g going...

Nope. Looking for just the display size. For some reason I don't think we have many with very large tanks.

Ca1ore has a 265 gallon DT with probably another 200 gallons in his whole system. He lives in Stamford.

Does my 265 qualify if it's in the garage and won't fit the stairwell to the 3rd floor apartment ? And I don't believe the floors or landlord would support it.

I believe the question was who has a large tank not who has one set up so I think you qualify.

Wanna sell it?

Sorry but no. DarkTang beat you by a good 10 minutes in his request , lol. Little history behind it goes like this. I stopped my entire workday and the other 5 people I was working with to get it. The previous owner sent a text to 3 people (me included) that it was FREE !!!! First come, first dibs. It was around 10 am and still full of water. I knew from seeing it setup in his place that when his daughter was still young enough to fit in it, they siliconed a bazillion pebbles to the back glass. Talk about heavy !!!! 6 of us managed to get it out of the house and relocated to my old residence where it took me about close to 3 months and a box of 200 razor blades to scrape it clean. It was a FW setup with UGF's, is drilled and he did wind up keeping the filters ( some German name I will have to ask him about) so that will be my only cost. Now I need to decide if I make it a DT for my Discus or turn into SW. Tough decisions ahead.

220DT, but with electricity prices continuing to increase, not sure I want to sustain the system I have going. Electric bill is already $300/month.

Chris and I have a 210 but, after the sump, frag tank and in wall tank in our daughter's bedroom, we have about 400 gallons running through the house.

We bought the tank from Kynan a few years back who has a gorgeous huge tank as well...

So no one has gone over the 300 mark in the club? Is that a challenge I hear? Luckily she likes expensive round shaped things too. When I do get on that knee and throw in the towel on my college youth and transition to an "adult" (hah I'll never be one of them!) I will only be handing over said ring if she agrees which she already has, that the house will have a MASSSIVE tank that the house will be designed around. I'm talking minimum 2000 gallons. This is of course a year to three out. And then by the time the cost of the wedding and the honeymoon and the ring and the house get to my wallet, I will be left with a gold fish in a bowl and dreams that never came to fruition. It's nice to dream about when we buy a house. I just want a tank that people see and their jaws drop. I can't wait :)
