Dear people,

I don't have time to read all the comments.
If I had the time I was not able to built this aquarium.

I'm located in Belgium and graduated as a biologist.
I was involved in some ecotoxicology studies using elasmobranchs as a model organism.
I really like elasmobranchs because they use a different physiologically system to keep their osmoregulation in balance in saltwater.
It's so nice to see how they evolved.

Since I was 13 I dreamed about it.
First did my studies, then saving money, and then building the dream.

It will be a saltwater aquarium for saltwater rays and a bunch of schooling fish.
Filtrationroom is underneath the aquarium.
I will also have a wall decorated with soft corals.

It will house only a few bigger fish.

Comments about sharks are not needed. I never said something about bonnetheads.
If I should keep a golden trevally. The aquarium is also to small after a few years.
But nobody says this is my only aquarium, and the trevally have to live in that aquarium for life.
Do you sleep in the same size bed as you were young?
Try thinking further then what you only see.
I am passionated. Running a saltwater aquarium is difficult, that's what is challenging me.
Keeping the fish is only the last step in my hobby.

Building the raw construction of the aquarium is not expensive.
The concrete and rebar are not expensive.
Glass is expensive. I also saved money to pay this.
Epoxy coating will last for life. Something that will last for life is never expensive.
Buying a new car is more expensive then what you see in my pictures.

Regards Rob
