I think they are using it as a swimming pool. Pretty strange looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 would make for a relatively interesting saltwater tank. something that had high flow to keep it cleaner and a ton of colorful saltwater fish schools And.... no. I will absolutely not be swimming in a tank raised that high off the ground. especially with a see through bottom. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pass you had to go 50’ up and then 50’ out. I dropped it the next day 😂 For me it’s weird. I can climb trees and do rafter work. But as soon as the roof sheeting is up. I’m out 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the opportunity presented itself, I climbed one of those transmission towers before the wires were installed. For some weird reason, risk management mode kicked in 10 feet short of the top, and I couldn't finish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting worse as I get older. Used to not be so bad. Last month I climbed a feed bin to fix its rope. It wobbled. I was frozen in place for 10 minutes. It’s only 18 feet tall 😂 And you’re up there trying to figure out why the heck you can’t move. Stupid brain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOtrees Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Love the marine tank idea. Open water setup, maybe some floating buoys or the like for shelter. I love the razor-thin silvery fish in public aquariums, that virtually disappear when you see them head-on or top-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I wonder if these pools have a problem with geese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
