My question: How on earth would you even transport the thing??
It would have to be completely disassembled and rebuilt at a different location. But even the panels themselves must weigh a crapload! Would be interesting to see if they actually sell it. Maybe another business will buy it.
Got any spare room and cash Pacco? LOL

They probably paid 250-300 k for it.
So, they want 200 k now.
(All very rough guessing of coarse).
It's probably going to cost 100-150 k to dismantle, remove, relocate then resurrect it, maybe cost more.
I agree Alex, it's near on worthless.
The cost of dismantling, relocating is probably the same cost in labour as the all the materials new delivered to where it needs to be.
Things like this putting together is always easier using brand new material.
Putting old materials back together need more prep work before re-use.
So may cost more for putting together.

Posted a thread on it a while ago, if anyone wants to see the pix.
I understand Kambo's in Malaga has one as well.
I have NFI how much it costs them to run, but I'd bet it is not cheap. Maybe they are trying to economize, with retail being a bit tough.

I doubt they will get anywhere near what they are trying to get for it - as most people looking for something in that sort of range are going to want to get it custom made to their location.

Your right, but what about relocating, re-assembling and all the prep work.
What about moving the live rock, the fish establishing the cycle before life introduction.
This is a specialist thing that comes at a hefty labour cost.
No way would I dabble in that using back yard cowboys for $20 per hour.
Any pro doing this would go through correct channels.
Always so much more to it than what the amateur sees.
This would likely need to be re-submitted for engineering approval to depending on the type of construction.eg (are the shop walls integrated) ?
Specialist skills fetch high rates.

i agree,no one's gonna wan't to mess around with that ,i think. very limited to who can afford,house and spend the extras of taring down and putting it back up,the logistics would be a pain in the ass,that's for sure.

But something like that would also bring people into the shop aswell.
I did one in a surf shop and the amount of extra people who go in and then buy something after looking at the tank and then seeing something they like is astounding i have been told.
