went through my gramp's pix and then scanned them to pc

this is nothing compared to some of the tanks i havent found pix of "or seen"

one tank he said was so big he put on a wet suit to clean it
hope i can find a pic but he said he didnt take much pix

he also had a beautiful 240g planted discus tank

allrightythen

here it is
the mack daddy of tanks

my aro would love this tank

wish i could have seen this in person
my dad said he helped with it,lucky

im unsure on the size of this 70's monster
this is no lie
where that tank was i measured
it was
15 feet from wall to wall

so im guessing the tank was 14 feet long,give a foot for that side filter and spaces
but that throws off the lights
how long are the lights?
i see gaps between them so 4- 3 footers?
cant be 4- 4 footers cus that would be 16 feet and im pretty positive it is 15 feet wall to wall
"will double check next trip over there"

i would say 3,4footers and 1,3footer or 1 was a 2footer

that tank is monster in these days and times,he had to have been the man back then, and in my eyes he is still the man to this day with his tanks and ideas for filtration

ya 14 foot tank is crazy,wish i knew where it went/is to see it
and back then he was the guy to call for an aquarium as you can see
my dad said restaurants would have him build huge tanks,my dad thought they would ask for huge tanks just to see if he could really get them inside

and ya he is still the man

Great thread.

If you have more photos, keep posting them.

thanx
and if i find more tank pix i will surely post them up

Looks to be a queen angel and a 'rock beauty' in one tank. Not sure about the eel.

I see a niger triggerfish too. That queen angel looks like it was gorgeous!!! Looks like a snowflake moray eel.

That wall-to-wall tank is incredible!!!
