FarmerTy Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My upgrade to the 215 gallon all of a sudden feels really puny. I really feel bad for all my fish now knowing that they don't swim around in 20,000 gallons of pure saltwater bliss. The pillar does drive me nuts too!

+Mlaw Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 yeah I don't see why he built it that way. He has all that money and ability to throw at it and he puts a giant pillar in the middle? I guess the couldn't come up with an elegant way to deal with the issue. Or at least he couldn't as he appears to build everything himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsalt Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The tank was awesome. I think I am in awe of the fact that the guy just builds something if he needs it. Oh see that router I built it because I wanted to. Oh my big *** RO system I built because I wanted different features. Oh my huge skimmers, I built those. And I thought I did good building my stand and canopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 There is, or was, a build thread for this setup on Reef Central and The Reef Tank. It might take some digging to find it but it was a fascinating read. Bill has his stuff together; built the house and the tank himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 just for perspective, what i found online is that the cabelas aquarium is 60.000 gallons. so, this guy built one 1/3 of the size of a public aquarium. i couldn't find anything on the sizes of the austin aquarium. the pillar bugs you? really? if you can't see what you need through the 10 foot windows then you are just spoiled. i guess you could always take a swim.

nathan.titulaer Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ilove Bill Wanns tank. He built the center column because with out it the front plexi would of been 3-4 times the cost and would of needed to be custom poured. It may not look it but even he has a budget for tank builds.
