BA's in Oakville is selling their display tanks:

15k get's you a couple of pretty nice tanks.
1200 gallon freshie wall


1200 gallon  salty wall


300 gallon reef


100k get's you a bada$$ 5000 gallon circular reef tank


The most interesting part to me is the original price of these things...now I know why BA's charges more than other stores for their supplies and livestock!!
I haz reef tanks.

those aren't upgrades... they are divorce starter-kits.

Nerine

Not divorce starter-kits...Insta-divorce kits :P Get shot before you walk out the door kit! :P hahaha

Are they closing??? why are they selling these tanks!?
55 Gallon: Zamora Woodcats, Gold Gourami, Severum, Convicts
Misc tanks: Glo Light Tetras, Harlequin Tetras, Danios, Platies, Guppies, Otto cats
Breeding: Platies, Guppies, Convicts

I heard that they're moving to a new location.  Guess it's easier to sell everything off and start fresh rather than try to move all of those huge tanks.
120G Reef

Funny thong is my wife would love any of those tanks if we could afford them...I can't imagine using a box of salt to do a water change...yikes.

brotherluv

I'm guessing my coralife 60 wouldn't cut it for skimming right?

Bob P

I've been in that store.
Those tanks are awesome.

Seriously, 100k for the shark tank?

Maybe I just don't know what things cost but how can is possibly be anywhere close to 100k? The glass is obviously the most expensive piece here but I'd be curious to see the cost breakdown of one of these things.

Totally agree for the insta-divorce-kit LOL

I don't understand the 400k new price tag...

It's actually acrylic, not glass.
I haz reef tanks.

If you follow the link it says the shark tank was 400k brand new, and the other tanks were 100k brand new. Almost a million bucks in new tank set ups for a single store...
I haz reef tanks.

Brine

As nice as these tanks are for that kind of money I wouldn't do anything less than fully customized and brand new. ...not that either is likely to happen on my budget

I'd just like to have a big enough house to put these bad boys in.
But then again maybe not.
