I think it might be like a small island tank even. Not sure, but if you look at it from the front, it looks awesome. I didn't get a chance to ask as my little girl was throwing a fit, but does anyone know what it is and is it expensive?

Being a 1/2 circle makes the price much more do to the method of shaping the glass not to mention having to cut the bottom pane to fit.

That is the one!!! I want it!!! When you stand in fron of this thing it magnifies the environment. If I ever get bored of the big setup, this is going to replace it.

there was a guy up in Austin that I bought some stuff from that had a couple of either 60 or 90 gallon full cylinders for sale. I think he wanted 600 for them with stands, and they were in his shed wrapped in plastic shipping wrap from what I remember. He was the guy selling the huge acrylic tank can't remember the size. I think his name is Rat something on here or it was his brother in law.

I remember you had this sweet 50 gallon acrylic tank you were selling. I wanted it but could never make the trip down to the coast.
