I agree, the tank and stand look set for an office lobby, the surrounding sand and decor look like an elementary school. I love the idea of having a couple 300gal tanks side by side, though the style (and price tag) is not my taste.

That is an absolutely ridiculous price for that. With 20 large I could get something much cooler than that.

You could build a way better system than that for 20k.... even one 600 gallon tank would be better that 2 300's

I read several negative comments... I am curious, are you guys just looking at the tanks?

I think the cabinetry is what bumped up the price.
You don't just walk into IKEA and buy a 20' - 24' cabinet that can support over 6000 lbs.

I can't tell from the picture whether it's hardwood or nicely finished plywood, but that nice cabinetry took someone alot of materials and manhours. The wave front and detailed canopies are pretty sweet.

I am still in the process of building cabinetry around my 175 Bowfront in my dining room. I looked into replacing my kitchen cabinets with nice looking pre-fabricated Home Depot cabinets so everything would match...
$6,000 - $7000 easy. And that's pre-fab not custom and that's just basically boxes with doors.

I decided to build them all myself out of MDF and replace the kitchen cabinet doors with my homemade ones. Everything will match and I'll have money left for food.

My house couldn't fit a 20' - 24' cabinet, neither could my wallet (my pockets aren't deep enough).

In my opinion, you can't judge value from a picture.

Unless those cabinets are made of gold i still think 20000 is to much, my 1000sq/foot basement was developed for a little over 10,000.
