	I want this aquarium ... lol
Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	I just posted a link in the chat room to Burgers' Zoo in the Netherlands. The have an aquarium that is something else. I want one Burgers' Zoo Ocean Size? Hold on to your hat. 20 million gallons. This is an aquarium big enough to have a real shipwreck in it. And - get this - schools of Butterfly Fishes. I so want one. Last edited by Calilasseia at 27-Feb-2005 11:10 Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Did you know the glass is special made to withstand all those many gallons of water pressure and is actually a couple of enormous slabs fused together seamlessly. It is two feet thick I think it said. I found out about it on the animal planet and thats what they said about it.

moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	ok, it was only 3 nurse sharks in the 4000g tank setup at that lfs. i dunno what i was looking at last time i was in there, but they said they've had those same 3 in there for almost 15 years and nobody has bought one yet. they're only $1100 right now, if only i had a few thousand gallon tank i could fit one in "That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman
