jestep Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We can just all show up... Surely the owner doesn't need to know he's hosting an ARC meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he completed it Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2 He just started this build and actually updated it this morning. Looks like he'll be checking out ARC shortly so let's pencil him in Mike.

Brooks Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I recognize the house.. I think I know which neighborhood he lives in! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinB Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 My neighbor works with this guys architect and said the tank will weigh 21,000 lbs when complete. She also said they needed the crane to lift a 16' TV into the house before the roof was completed. I am sure just the crane rental alone cost more than my complete system. Must be nice. I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a 16' tv yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bio)³ Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 why not just ask the owner to show his tv when we stop by to see the tank? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize we had to analyze every single post. No offense intended, I was joking that the guy that owns the house asked for a 16" and got a 16' It's all about the tick marks...again, a spinal tap joke, that's all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko's Reef Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Jerry Jones might have a TV that big, but he doesn't have a 1700g fish tank. I'd rather watch the game there.... I paid 150$ a ticket for the 1st row on the top deck on the 50 yard line to watch Brad Johnson and the Boys get beat by Jacksonville. Haven't went back since..

Popular Post Pmrogers Posted May 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hey Everyone, Just stopping in to say hi. I'm the guy with the tank. I will have to limit most of my posting to RC just due to limited time, but will pop in here occasionally to see what's up and to post Austin specific stuff. I will definitely be having an open house when it is done, and maybe a project day or two while it is in progress if there is interest. My current best guess on schedule is that we are about 6 months from having water in the display BTW, the screen is only 12' wide and yes, there is a projector involved. It is going to be rather like a TV, though, since the screen is glass and rear projection. Cheers, Paul 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planeden Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Welcome, and since I could not say in the RC thread...wow, nice tank. And while it is only 12 foot, the muppets will still be bigger than life-sized on the TV. Except maybe big bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
