OMG is funny but it works. I can't believe how much work and money is on this but it work. I kept reading and reading until the end and I was amazed with the final result.

Wow... That's sweet... But I think that I would have just gone with buliding an addition onto the house and having it indoors.

i agree!!! it seems like he went through SO much trouble for the cooling part of it, it would have been easier and probably cheaper to just build an addition and have it inside!

Wow....I don't even want to think about all the algae that's going to grow in that tank.

Considering it's shaded by a tree the algae might not be as bad as we think but "Mr. Leviathan" will probably take care of all that Neat idea though.

Talk about MTS to the extreme! I wonder if he knows about the nitrogen cycle?

Wow! That's so amazing. It ended up looking nice, although for a tank that big, I think I would have taken the time to go saltwater, although I guess that wouldn't really work outside. I didn't see what the actual gallon size was, did anyone catch it?

That was awesome Carol I wish I could do some like that. I wonder how much prime he used for that? Probably bought prime by 55gal drums.
