Now THIS is an aquarium

As a kid I thought my 80 gallon was big.

Apparently just one of the pumps is $20,000.

Wow! That's a serious commitment. I can't imagine what it will cost to stock that thing.

...and maintain, and heat, and etc.

Very cool.

Think the owner is one of those bad guys you see in a Bond movie?

Depending on what floats their boat.

Known to drop 250 k, on a whim, on his phone
He owns the Mets

Absolutely. This aquarium guy's...we'll call him Aqua Man...view of "a lot of money" isn't on the same level as mine. I know what my modest 39 gal saltwater tank cost. This is a whole new level.

That was my first thought, too. That's a **lot** of money to spend on an aquarium and house that almost nobody will buy down the road. What a white elephant. I guess some people have that kind of money (good for them!). Mrs. Noah thought I was nuts for even dreaming of an indoor slide when we were planning an addition a couple years ago. This is an entirely different level of crazy. Kudos.
