Aha!!! Caught ya! What's an aquarium discussion without GoGoBar.

Does my 8000 gallon koi pond count too?

I dunno if you seen them or not yet.
But I have a buddy of mine that wons Fishy Business down in Bolwing Gree, Ky.
He is the one who makes the rotating aquariums.
Kinda neat.

He's the first one ever to make one that does rotae where you can see all sides of the tank.
Also, the first ever in the US to successfully breed organge brittle stars and been featured twice on Aqurium magazine.

I'm building him a website if he ever gets the rest of the photos for me to finish his site. I'm doing it in exchange for products.

If you never seen a rotating tank.
Here is the link for it off my design site.

Hey PK. Have you figured out how to type in rainbow on here yet? :)

Jeff, Cool tank design. I just wonder if it would annoy the fish or not. I know I'd be pissed if my furniture kept spinning. :) Are you ready to admit about BS'ing the photos yet? :)

Yeah, GoGo. It's a real pain!

Damn impressive pics...

What kind of investment (time and money) are we talking for a beginner to set up a nice tank?

And yes, I realize size matters. Give me some options.

Better start the financing process.... it's going to cost thousands. My tank cost nearly $300 a month just in electricity.
