Welp ... I got permission from my wife to build one of these tanks when we

So, uh ... Anyone care to venture how much it might cost to put something
like this together? =)

Thanks to Luis Navarro for the loan of the documents -- the tank is
400x150x150cm.  You guess rather well, Bill.

Don't forget to add the weight of the rocks -- there are some big ones cover
by the wendelov ;-)
