Quite the theatre! You get to see fish in a much more natural environment then most of us ever will without diving in the ocean. Kind of you to share your treasure!

My family used to hang out in Times Square for NYC's New Years Eve celebration for 4 or 5 straight consecutive years and boy it would have been epic had I known about your system back then. Sorry I don't frequent RC since forever ...

Sister in-law's parents used to live in Manhattan and am now back in Toronto ... sigh.

I need to get a fish tank for my office. I have CNBC on all the time too since I’m a stock broker/financial advisor.

What a can of worms you’ve just opened for yourself lol

Awesome tank, great achievement.

I have one question though.. when you have a bunch of a type of fish do you appreciate them the same? For example you have 8 or so Achilles tangs, but for somebody that has just one it’s very special. When you can have groups of any fish you please are they still special?

Personally if I had unlimited resources to build a giant tank I would have lots of fish but not groups because I would want to know each fish individually.

Your large groups of fish do look very natural though so can understand the appeal.

Hey Andrew, here's for comparison ... ;Meh .

. YOURS vs. mine ;Dead (Tank in Tank as in PIP lol)
