one of my grandpas old tanks

[midnight]

was looking in old family photo albums and found this pic."like the round edges of pic?lol"
my grandma thinks it was about 13' long but i think it was longer.he made this.
im going to measure that wall next time im there.
my grandpa said it was about 13' x 2' x 2'.about 400 gallons im guessing.
looks more,guess its the length.you cant even see the whole thing.
he was telling me about a huge tank that when he cleaned it,he had to put on scuba gear and get in it.
going to try to find a pic of that!

Wow, that is very cool. Esepecially since the pic looks so old I am suprised that is is saltwater.

Where did you Grandfather live in Pine Island, if that is the case I am sure he collected everything himself.............btw that tank would be 415 gallons.

Cool! but the height doesn't look like 2ft though.

Cool! but the height doesn't look like 2ft though.

I completely agree Looks more like 12-15" Unless of course that PVC is 3" thick

There appears to be a Atlantic spadefish with a puffer in there. Also looks like black mollies? Might even be a brackfish tank. A old school fish keepr nonetheless. Thanks for sharing the photo.

I agree, if that is 2' tall then those are 4' light strips making it over 16'!

i think its more like 16' lol,im going to measure that wall.
the width looks wide too.
