So I know European football (aka soccer) isn't very popular here in the states but it's relevant here

Pretty cool. Here was my favorite part of the article :

Stephen Ireland is planning "a shark tank under his kitchen floor". Presumably, the plan is to instal a trap door and then invite Steve Staunton over for drinks.

How many 3W Crees will he need on his DIY fixture?

 

[TanksNStuff]

All of them!

just when one of these clowns feels like they can buy whatever they want, someone gives them the "estimate" and the contact info for the folks at the NASA division of Lockheed Martin to build him some sort of synthetic dwarf star initially developed to colonize a bio-dome on a distant moon.

As much as I wouldn't want a tank like this, it could be a pretty cool tank. Make it like the edge of a reef. You would need some SERIOUS lighting though. It must be nice to have that kind of scratch laying around.....

Something is not kosher! The article states a 40 by 15 by 3 foot tank….and will hold 5,500 gallons. That doesn’t add up! That size tank would hold 13, 465 gallons of water. So something there isn’t right.

The other point I wish to make is that with this tank being 40 feet deep, the only corals he’ll have in this tank are called plastic. And if it’s only three feet wide, I wouldn’t want to be the diver to go into this thin little tank to do the cleaning.

I’m not impressed….just amazed at the stupidity to spend that much money….for what?

I agree with Paul.But with that kind of cash I guess ya dont need to know anything about anything except see it,like it want it and buy it.I think all these high paid sports players,actors and the like need to see how us "normal" people live.I mean heck all the tons of $$ we make and it hasnt changed us a bit

According to reef builders it will be four 10ft tall tanks stacked on top of each other.

if the 3 tanks stack up ... how would that looks?

if they are not seal off... it would have air gap in between... also it would end up only bottom one have rock? the top two no rocks?
if they are seal off? how they gets stuff in & out??

going to be interesting... (giving it a reasonable doubt...)

Only making the tank(s) 3 feet wide is stupid. This whole tank just seems like a bad idea to me.
