I used to have a small slate bottom tank.... anybody have one of those? I love the character of this tank..

The tank looks like a modern plastic trim tank. It’s just a cool, funky stand. I doubt it’s antique though.

I came across a collection of antique tanks once and thought it was fascinating. I'll try to find it again. Anything that relates to the history of our hobby is so interesting. If someone wrote a book about it, I'd read it.

But I second @cshuston, it's got a modern trim.

It’s a tourist trap restaurant on the beach.

It is kinda cool........ if it did not make me throw up in my mouth

There are some things you cant unsee, and that is one of them!

It was designed by Versace for Liberace for his new mansion in Palm Springs in 1952.

Fresh water tank with artificial jelly fish? The stand is very nice but the tank layout hurts my eyes. I can see a gold Severum which I have, but the gravel and colored plants, NO!

@ Paulie069 and fishguy242

Glad you guys got it

the jellyfish and plants look to be from the 1920's

I think it is old considering all the legit nostalgia in the restaurant,the fact that its still in use is cool
