What heritage in the hobby. So glad you have the tanks and the story. Wonder if my grandkids will remember my tanks and if they will keep fish some day. Interesting place to go and think or a while. They see the tanks and I guess time will tell. My daughter kept a tank until she had kids. Three littles ones and not much time to mess with fish for now.

"just remembered 2 more tanks lol cant believe i forgot these"
he made 2 50g for me and a buddy like 10-12 years ago
we painted his house and shop and for pay we both got 50g tanks
he helped us build the stands and he did the tanks
i had fish in it for a while then i kept a baby gator
best pet ever!!
but my parents let it go cus they said i wasnt feeding it
but gators dont eat everyday is what i said lol
i sold my tank

ya its hard not to like fish with a gramps like that
you might run across a pic with it in the background like half these pix
and i might find more pix,thanksgiving the family is going to go through all the pix and i will be on the lookout for more pix of tanks
Hey Midnight, great thread man! You're grandfather rocks bro. Did he pass down his tank building skills to you? Have you guys ever built any tanks together?
lol when I read the title, I thought I was going to see a bunch of old tiny tanks. Not antique monster tanks.

i have watched alot of times and he taught me some stuff
i know the basics now and have cut down and redone an all glass bio box "its a start"
but here is the best part
wasnt going to say till i had some pix but
i inherited all his glass tools
6' strait edge
2' - 3' - 4' - squares
all the hand cutters,chemicals,glass breakers,and so on
plus got a special mini drill press to drill holes in glass and the glass bits
even some glass but i have no where to store the glass
ya you dont hear "my grandpas tanks" much
I absolutely love this tank. So cool.midnight;2042253; said: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"
