Than you would enter the world of licensing and a whole lot of other government regs.. A can of worms that you wouldn't want to open. Just best to ask for donations.

Given that ReefCentral.com already features jokes about reef aquarium keepers with metal halides being raided by the cops who think they're running a hydroponic marijuana farm, I suspect that the lighting required to make a 50,000 gallon tank that's 8 feet deep plantable would involve enough lighting to make the authorities suspect that the aquarist was running a secret nuclear weapons project.

Given that David Saxby needs five kilowatts of metal halides on a reef aquarium that's a LOT smaller than 50,000 gallons, I dread to think what would be needed even for a freshwater aquarium of that size. Imagine the lighting needed if that tank was set up as a reef ... you'd need the kind of floodlighting associated with the Houston Astrodome to keep a reef aquarium of that size adequately illuminated!

Now that would be a first wouldn't it - the 100,000 watt aquarium lighting system ...

i'm actually shocked to see him holding his breath in his tank to clean it. seems like you could just make a longer snorkel and go snorkeling in your house...

I reckon if you wanted to do a giant marine tank, you could do something clever with windows and mirrors. It would save a hell of a lot of elastictrickery.

If I had that tank, I would stock it with rare catfish, but i could never afford that.
