Yeah, I thought it was a little disappointing also. I think any of us could have done what they in just putting together a tank the way they did. I was hoping they were going to put in a really big tank, with a supporting fish room behind it, but I guess that was unrealistic. The whole show was pretty much just about them trying to weld metal together to build an observation deck, that didn't really look that much like the original drawings.

Watched it also and very sad. Seemed like every 5 minutes it was welding this welding that, time this time that...blah blah blah blah...Tank was also sad, like everyone else said I thought it would be alot bigger. There setup was ok, they used the life gaurd setup. Nice sump but over all the tank was crap. Filled it with water, threw some rock in it, corals, and sand. Plus to many fish. It also looked like they didnt even aclimate the fish. Just match the temps. But over all it was a waist of time. I watched Pearl Harbor on HBO and saw more sea life then that show

aw, y'all are mean  just kidding. I read over at swf.com that pam (the house owner) took out some of the fish and all of the fake decorations. if youre curious you could go to saltwaterfish.com and do a search for malibupam (username) and see what she has to say about her tank and what she's done with it and is going to do.....its probably a lot different now than it was on the show.....I would like to see pictures...

i was dissapointed to say the least.. yeah it's a "nice" tank. but nothing compared to the majority here at trt..
besides, come on, this is MONSTER HOUSE.. i would have expected 500g or larger..
i mean really, if you dont plan on showing up mojo or steve's tanks, then you dont need to broadcast it worldwide
