I think that is the largest Saltwater tank in North America but I believe there is a larger fresh water tank. I think I read that this one was in Ontario. I could be wrong though.

You are correct Brine, a few of us had the pleasure of meeting the owner a few years ago at a CAOAC convention.

Wow, designed the system himself and even made his own skimmers and RODI units because the commercial ones did not have the features that he wanted Lol. Impressive!

He built the house around the tank actually ... did the plans for the tank and then the plans for the house once the aquarium was laid out on paper. Guess with that size that was about the only way to do it ...

he also buds most of what he needs for the aquarium in a workshop (you should see that one) that is attached to the house ... looks like a professional set up and it is actually based on everything that is in it tool wise etc ...
