Thanks, Buffle. I saw that last year. This guy's a nutbar. I mean, who goes to all that trouble for a freshwater tank??

the person that wants to keep 6ft long catfish.

I saw this tank a while ago, in a magazine, IIRC, he lives in Canada

Yeah. I love catfish, too. But I'd rather spend that kind of money tank raising endangered fish, and/or corals than on a frikken arapaima tank. Seriously. Oh, I know, I know. His money, his tank.

Call me cynical, but I'm so ******* tired of watching people spend their money on assinine things like this that do nothing to help either a)needy people, b)our environment, or c)our hobby. How does shoving a bunch of six foot long catfish into a private tank help the hobby? Why doesn't this guy put his money somewhere useful?

Just my opinion. Just my rant. I think that perhaps, if each one of us was perhaps 5% LESS selfish, the world might be a better place.

And before you question me about what I do for the hobby, well, it's my job. I don't have the kind of money this guy has, but I do as much as I can to help people keep their existing animals alive and in good health.

I don't expect people to throw their money around trying to save the planet, I don't expect us to be a bunch of treehuggers. But stuff like this is simply an excessive way to show off. It's an ego thing. And I must say, it doesn't impress me whatsoever. I love the replies on the thread...you are a god?? A god just because he takes the money that would go to buy a BMW and spends it on a catfish tank??

Sure. Yep. A God.

Vaguely. Wasn't the paint peeling off the walls because of the humidity?

 

[Anonymous]

Hmmm... who woulda thunk driftwood floats?

Apart from anything else, the thing just looks crap.

It would be fun to take a dump in there and then see if it floats there forever or if some big catfish eats it.

he had to gut his house- ALL the wood was infested with Black Molds

That guy needed an intervention...

which guy, Mr. 4000, or this guy with the 50,000 gallon tank?(incedently, he also has a 15,000 gallon tank on the other side of his basement as well)

 

[Anonymous]

Both of them. :lol:

imagine for a moment an amazon river biotope with schools of hundreds of discus, neons, serpaes, cardinals,aphyocharax tets, altum angels, and stingrays

with roots, plants, the whole shebang

would make 99% of every reef tank you ever saw look like piddle

If you boil it, it will sink sooner. But it really needs to be weighted down to stay down, unless you got a year to let it soak.

I've seen them. Some of them were even mine I guess peoples tastes change, cuz I was an avid freshophile a few years back. But now I got the bristleworm bug.

Perhaps I'll set up another freshwater someday, I already mentioned the craving for a goldie tank. I know, it's not biotope material, but I have a particular fondness for goldfish. They're not the smartest, but you gotta love a fish that will deliberately swim inside a tank ornament and get its ass stuck like Poohbear in a honey jar. LMAO

EDIT: who moved this topside??? DAMN YOU, you tricked me! The light, the light! My eyes are burning.
