225 Half Cylinder Custum Acrylic Aquarium.

I love those but hate them at the same time. Just looking at it in the pic almost gives me a headache. Those things have crazy distortion.

wonderin whos goin to pay the electricity ~

I agree they look cool but there is way too much distortion

What do you guys mean distortion?? I understand the term. Is it the pic quality or the coral placement?

theyre talking about how the curved glass sort of distorts around the sides

man..... a roommate? richy

Hmmm. Guess I never noticed the distortion. When I look at it from the side, I see about 6" of distortion from the curve. Actually, my roomate isn't happy with this tank style...too hard to move things around, and almost impossible to have a quality wavemaker. Guess he'll have to make best of it .

The distortion is not so much in person with a tank like this.... but all I can think about is how DEEP this is. That makes keep up very hard in reef. My 15 gal is 18" deep and I can't imagine keeping a red more than 24" deep. Waht a PITA. I don't see a whole lot of reef tanks morethan 24" deep go for too long, a few but few.

LOL!! My roomates not "richy", he's a server at Applebees. However, He is an Accounting student at MSU...

(don't understand why there's no reply button)...oh well. Yeah, it's quite funny seeing him move anything around near the bottom of the tank...he takes the canopy off, then literally climbs on top of his tank. He said if he didn't worry about the chemicals in his hair polluting the water, he would buy googles and a snorkle, and go to work!!

Electric bill? I have a set rate, $25. I would say just his two aquariums runs about $80 per month.

oh man mine about $200 -_+

I live in michigan and you said the owner of that tank goes to MSU, have him send me a message if he wants to sell any frags

i live in michigan too =)

my electric bill wit my fresh and salt tank only whent up bout 20$ not as bad as i thought but that must be crazy
