[Rob&Gab]

its really amazing how he did that. i would love to learn his trade of being a drop out.. lol where did i go wrong?

 

[Mangas50]

How much is monthly maintance for this tank you think?

 

[duke62]

Electricity alone is probably more a month then most of us make in a month

How much is monthly maintance for this tank you think?

I know what I would charge, but actual cost would vary mostly depending on filtration.

Why would he have to be "born rich" to have that kind of money? Some of the most successful people in the U.S. are dropouts.

i think the tank cost more than the plumbing

This is very cool. He is a hands on guy, cleans his own glass using diving equipment.

Actually he was mentioning his work in one of his build threads. He works with hospital equipment, and being the only one who does what he does... so yes he is a self-made man, and it looks like this has created some jealousy over at RC. I saw some people criticizing him from his Facebook pictures. "yeah tacky new money"

You can see pictures of the build of the house and the tank here:

And the equipment + filling with water.

I must admit while I like the impressive size, it looks so far more like a fish only tank. Where are the corals??

I think in the large tank category I prefer Chingchai's
