That has to go down as the post of all time. Front you thought about that a little to much man. Even named the mermaid already.

I would have to agree that has to be the single greatest post in history. It was originally in Newb's 210 gallon journal, hats off to you Front

[geoff_tropheus]

I cannot wait to see the finished product.

I still like the otter idea...

Gentleman the dangers of keeping of a mermaid were well documented by FrontosaurusRex. He said it better than I can so I will leave you with his sage and immortal words......................

"With a tank that sized i'd keep a mermaid in it. She'd be there everyday looking all sexy at you but you know you shouldnt do anything with her cuz....what would your kids look like? I mean, yeah, she's hot, but its just wrong. You're just sitting there eating dinner or watching TV and she's all like "come on, Randall. You know you want to" and you'll be all like, "no Sandrina, i cant....i just cant" and you go turn the lights off so you cant see her anymore, but you know she's there....all half naked with her coconut thingies and her fins.....
Then, when you wake up in the morning and you turn the lights on to feed her, she's all looking at you all sexy again blowing kisses at you and stuff. You'll be all like "Tiffany will be up any minute, you have to stop this" and she'll be all like "I wont tell if you dont" and the thought will cross your mind to jump in there real quick and do stuff but then Tiffany wakes up and she's all like, "What's going on out here? I thought i heard you talking" and then you'll lie, "No Tiffany, nobody's talking" and then Sandrina will start splashing around making things even more uncomfortable for you so you turn the lights off again and when you go lay your head down at night to go to sleep you have inappropriate dreams about you and your mermaid and you wake up sweating and you cant go back to sleep and then you're driving to work and you haven't slept and your concentration is all off and you run into a ditch and your car explodes.....

Screw that, i'm never getting a mermaid."

Hubby is ordering the glass for the sides in a week. Got to wait for the weather to dry up a little before he tries to weld anything for the stand....still a long ways to go. He says it is going to be his winter project. An an update on the other tank..the 162gal he built. It was 1/4 inch thick plate, an it is still holding water, an is now filled with guppies, an plecos. Not the prettiest tank,but it works great for grow out.

If it's the one from "Splash!", I'll help, too. If it's the one from "The Little Mermaid", you're on your own.

[mahoro]

put a mermaid or two in it!! and i'll go feed them when your away from town!

[schance]

so and word on the tank?

[jarrodaden]

She said it was going to be outside so I would imagine flood insurance is not really needed for this

Just having a little fun...

That tank is pretty awesome.

I would buy flood insurance (just in case) before worrying about how to stock it.
