At this time I am having problems with my steel above the water line rusting. I built 10 access doors to feed the fish etc. and they are rusting also. I had problems with the floor above the tank after the first year because the floor materials absorbed water and weakened. I then had to replace the floor. I heat my tank with a house oil fired hot water tank. I have used 2 swimming pool heaters before this. But I had many problems 1. the first one ran great for 5 years but it had been installed improperly by the seller and caused a fire. The second one was far too big and it started leaking in the boiler after 1 and a half years. I use a 600 lb sand filter on the mega tank, the natural lava rock filtration, I don't over feed and I do about 10,000 gallon water changes every week.
It's like some engineer heard Irina Dunn's old feminist slogan about the bicycle, missed the point, and scoffed "I think we can do better than THAT."
I don't want one because I don't want to take care of a fish -- but man I hope this kickstarter gets fully funded.
No thanks fish on wheels. Yes please cool fish tank.
Wait, hear me out. Cool fish tank...ON WHEELS
Tracks and a cannon that fires pellets would be way cooler but I hear ya

Interesting, but the pics killed it for me. I guess I'm spoiled by @jont's pic.
@matthew
Sounds fun
It probably would have been cheaper and less hassle for the Mega Tank guy to move next door to a Bass Pro Shops store.
It makes me mad when I got BPS and see the "Pro" demoing new fishing lures in the house aquarium. Maybe I'm just jealous...
